My baby just got a G-tube and she is 15 mths. When do I know when to go for a refitting??

@Chelseafc47 oops, actually, it isn't even surgery at all. There is no opening of any skin that isn't already open, aka the stoma....it's just replacement of a tube, which can be done at home.

@Chelseafc47 there is no need for intubation for a g-tube change, it's not surgery.

Why does a diaper interest you? I find this question offensive and inappropriate and will not dignify it with a proper response other than-This video has been placed for educational purposes on g-tube placement.

I believe that she will eventually potty train. It will just take a while. She is making some progress in this area.

Hello. You are very welcome. Normally they do not sedate a child to resize or change a button. Reanna was having another procedure that required sedation and I requested to have this done at that time for convenience.
