My 13 year old son just got a PEG feeding tube.
We are trying to get information on how to secure it comfortable and safely so he can go back to playing sports.

You would probably be better off posting in the family sections since the parents of the kids would respond with ideas!!

Hello Amy-our oldest is 9 and he has had his button for about 3 years. He has a mini button which is like a bard but locks in like a mic-key. He plays soccer and never seems to have a problem. He does wear a tighter tank top under his jersey so it hold it closer to his body. His whole soccer team knows about his button so it isn't a big deal. He has gotten hit in it a couple of times but then he just needs a minute and he is ready to go again. Is this button one that can be switched out for mini that is softer and more flat? Hope this helps.
