My granddaughters GI dr. said that she needs to have more fat under her skin in order for her to get the mic key. She currently has just the peg in place. Do you know if there is a certain weight she has to be or is it just the layer of fat to hold it??? I was alittle confused when she was explaining this and thought that i understood. But I guess i really didn't understand.

I would say enough of a layer of fat to hold the button in place. They come in different stoma lengths which refers to the tube going from the balloon on the inside to the button part on the outside. If you are a larger adult person then your would need a longer stoma length to go from the outside of your body to the inside of your stomach, a kid would need less length. So if your granddaughter doesn't have enough fat then maybe the shortest stoma length they have it still too long for her. <a target=_blank class=ftalternatingbarlinklarge href="http://www.mic-key.com/index.asp">Click here</a>for a link to the mic-key website and that should answer some of your questions. Also if your google mic-key there are some Youtube videos on changing the mic-key button.

I just learned something new. So does this mean that the "fatter" you get that, potentially, the more you need to have it changed to a large one to accomodate?

Interesting.....
