Nutritional Lifeline: The Feeding Tube Decision will help you learn
how feeding tubes can improve the quality of life for those who have difficulty
chewing and swallowing. Personal stories of people who have made the decision
are part of the package.
The modular materials are designed for you to select the information most important
to you.
Chapters include:
1. Decision-making: How will a feeding tube (PEG) change my life? Can people
tell I have a PEG? Will I need special clothes? Can I still run, swim, golf?
When is the right time to get a feeding tube? Is this a permanent decision?
2. PEG Insertion procedure: Where is it done? How long will it take? How
long will I be recuperating?
3. Using and caring for a PEG: What can I eat? Will it hurt when I use it?
Can I use the PEG by myself or will I need help?
What customers had to say about Nutritional Lifeline: The Feeding Tube Decision:
I wanted you to know what a supreme help the DVD "Nutritional Lifeline" has been in my practice here in the boon docks of Kansas! I purchased one at the convention and am so glad that I did. I have shown it to all my Support Groups so far. Let me tell you, whoever said that a picture was worth a thousand words wasn't kidding.
This DVD has changed quite a few lives {of patients} that were scared to death to undertake the procedure. It seems that no matter how many words are used to explain things – nothing relieves fear like seeing first hand what will happen and the apparatus that will be used.
