Feeding tube falls out.

I have had a feeding tube for over 20 years and have had very few problems with the balloon type. If the balloon deflates a bit, I simply add a few ccs of sterile water. My sister has learned to change out the "button" for me when it's needed. I can do it myself, but it's a bit awkward.

Welcome @aalbb. I appreciate your jumping in to this conversation to offer tips to others like @walisky.

May I ask what led to your needing a feeding tube?
