Feeding Tube Help

New member
Hello,I have a gj-tube in my belly. I was told that once the track had formed i could get it changed from being about 6 inches of bulk hanging out of me to a button on my skin. Now that it has healed i have been told that they can't put in a button, ya wanna know thier reasoning?? Because the tried it in ONE, only ONE other person and it didn't work. What a bunch of crap, they continuously tell us that each case is unique but at the same time when it is convenient they cluster cases together. I am moving in 2 weeks, so i am going to talk to docs and the hospital there to see if they can do it. I am just wondering if anyone else has this type of feeding tube and if they were able to get a button placed. MSG here or email me at juliebowers007@hotmail.comYour fellow CFer,Julie
