Guest guest Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 Today's procedure to place the PEG tube went well. the docs here didn't want to use only a local anesthetic, despite my suggestion they consider it, but they were sensitive to my request to not use Benzo family drugs. The used Demerol and he didn't have a bad reaction. The surgery went well. Be sure they give your husband a belly band to keep him from plucking at the tube. was very restless after the procedure and was pulling at everything. Fortunately I had anticipated that and they had him in a band. Tylenol helped, and he's sleeping peacefully now. Kathy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
