Joined: Mar 2007 Posts: 7 | Thank you all for your advice. I met my sis and bro-in-law at the hospital and gave them copies of all your replies. He had a 17 lb. weight loss in 1 week (and was trim to begin with). The Dr. recommended the feeding tube and he decided to get it. It has been a godsend!
Bless you all,
