Tips for adjusting to living with a PEG (feeding tube)

I just got a feeding tube a few days ago and wanted to compare my experience at the hospital to other ALS patients to see if it was similar or different. Thanks!

Hi everyone,
I’m scheduled to get my PEG tube surgery on 7/14 through Interventional Radiology with a one night hospital stay. Wondering what recovery looks like and how long?

I got my PEG this week- even though I can still eat by mouth and my breathing is in the low 90’s, and weight has been steady. MY neurologist encouraged me to get it done now while I am relatively healthy. My disappointment (aside from belly cramps which I hope will subside) is the amount of “hardware” that protrudes from the bumper- do I really need all this stuff right now since I am not using the PEG? Can I disconnect any of it?
