Veronica's Story: Tube Feeding and Cystic Fibrosis

Veronica was a very ill teenager with cystic fibrosis, recalls Dr. Susanna McColley, director of the CF Center at Children's Memorial Hospital. When I first met her, she was extremely underweight and had very poor lung function.

In this video, Veronica discusses her struggle to put on weight as a teenager, and her decision to use a gastrostomy tube (G-tube) instead of a nasogastric tube (NG tube). Learn how her life and health have benefitted as a result.
