What are the lifestyle changes with permanent G-Tube?

See below. Hope this works for you.
Since you can remove the tubes after feeding, it really cuts down on the friction issue. You will need to replace them periodically but it takes two minutes - they use the same hole - just remove the old and replace with a new one.
The nurse assistant was done with mine before I even new it.
Good luck

@praying4miracle , thank you - I will discuss this with my surgeon and see if it is possible - the diameter of my G-tube may be too large for the mic-tube. Thanks again and take care.
