G tube placement

[JennyCoulon]

I don't have a percentage of CFer's who get G buttons but I think it is a great thing if needed. A lot of people have children who have CF that are below "the mark" that the CF docs want them to be at for weight.

I have an 8 year old that has had his for 2 years and is now in the 50% of weight. I think that with weight gain being connected to lung function it is essential to keep their weight up. Hope this helps.

Having a G-tube has been my life saver! It keeps my weight up and works great for me. But when my GI system goes off it does become hard to use it as often as they would like me to. I use Optmantal by Ross 275 cals in every can.

Most of the cystic's I have been friends with have G-tubes.

My son has had his G-tube since March 1, 2007 and has gained 20 pounds since. He is doing the best he has ever done and looks the best he ever has. Most people don't even know he has CF, unlike before he looked fragile and weak. He even says he is glad he has his tube. He also has had no clean-outs since the tube and the year before the tube he had 3 clean outs alone, plus the numerous ones before that. I think they are a great thing!
