@mutter3, does your son still use a g-tube? At the time, did you/he have a choice between a g-tube and gj-tube?

He had his gtube removed one year ago. He had it since he was 2 months old. Part of the time he had a gjtube from age 2-4 Then was on TPN from 4-6. We used elastanet to hold gtube,gjtube and eventually his broviac in place.Lot of trial and error. He has gained 20 lbs since he got his gtube out.
