I didn't really know what to expect when my daughter had her G-Tube placed. In my mind I was thinking..."there's a hole in her stomach, like a real hole." Very odd to think about. When it was time to take the tube out the doctor's office told us to just do it at home. It closed pretty quickly, a lot quicker than I thought it would. Good luck to you and your little guy!

I thought the NG tube would be intimidating, but when I asked the GI doctor about replacing the small balloon they use to keep the button in place that we'll feed him through, they said that we'll take care of that! Just the concept that he'll have this hole directly into his stomach and we'll do that is kind of scary. Thank you Andrea! Katie, not really sure.

Good luck. So he only has to stay overnight for observation? When do they teach you all the ins and outs (sometimes literally) of caring for the G-Tube. I'm sure that even has horrible as the idea of the surgery might be...in the same way it will be nice for him to be able to be fed right? Wow! Good luck.
