What are the lifestyle changes with permanent G-Tube?

I have heard that there are situations where you may be able to change your tube yourself. I have a special-needs grandson, whose mother does those changes for him. So that may be an option.

I change my own tubes now, after going to the VA and having an LPN do the change which I did for maybe three changes. I also buy my MiniOne buttons direct from AMT because the VA will only furnish the Avanos Mickey and it is a bit larger than the AMT MiniOne. I keep a couple of spares on hand should the balloon burst.
