It is more becomming common for doctors to suggest g-tubes now because of the correlation between good weight and better lung function. Since it such a struggle for CFers to maintain their weight, getting a g-tube placed is a way to improve caloric intake.

It is surgery, so it can be involved. It takes about an hour. The recovery is about a week. It is more of an inconvenience than anything.

Both my boys have had theirs 4 years. It has helped their overall health tremendously!! I would recommend it.
