Guest guest Posted November 26, 2002 Report Share Posted November 26, 2002 Hi The problem is that we have had the tube for 2 and a half months and have had to change the button twice already , the balloon that keeps the button in keeps springing leaks. mom of 3, 2wcf > Hi!

Guest guest Posted November 26, 2002 Report Share Posted November 26, 2002 Are you changing it yourself or is your doc? It sounds like there's too much water in the balloon. It only needs 5cc--6cc max. Could that be it? What size is the button? mary ________________________________________________________________ Sign Up for Juno Platinum Internet Access Today Only $9.95 per month!

Guest guest Posted November 26, 2002 Report Share Posted November 26, 2002 Hi We are very careful only to put in 5ccs of water. Do you know how long they are supposed to last. > Are you changing it yourself or is your doc? It sounds like there's too much water in the balloon. It only needs 5cc--6cc max. Could that be it?

Guest guest Posted November 27, 2002 Report Share Posted November 27, 2002 Usually that means the acid in her stomach is way too much for the balloon she may need a new type of enzymes they are MT's they help reduce acid as does Zantac.Rebekah went thru tubes on the average of 1 per 3 to 6 weeks for over 2 years then we switched to Mt's and she went to one tube every 3to 6 months.I hope this helps .Rebekah had her tube from 8 months till her 5thb-day.We changed her tube at home it was very easy.Good Luck with the tube.Becky B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
