Mic-Key button leaking when the plugs out

[Guest guest]

Hey all. just wanted to ask a question if anyone else has had this. 1

week ago we finally began to use the button for Autumns g-tube, up

until that time (2 weeks) the tube had been attatched to the button and

tapeddown to her skin to immobilize it...the surgeon said that less

movemetn at first the better the tract heals correctly ....? Well, the

button leaks when the plug is open. I know that is not supposed to

happen so I called the office last week and the nurse said that it is

not uncommon because of the way the surgeon places the tube?????? They

said they can't put a new one in for a few weeks because the site is

not ready and it can cause problems. Nothing leaks when the plug is

in, but as soon as I open it to attatch the tube it starts coming out

so I have to do it very quickly. This surgeon placed it laproscopy so

I don't know if that is why. How are these buttons to work normally?

WE have an appt in a few weeks for a new tube. Has this happend to

anyone else? Am I being misinformed? Apparently this hospital is

good at that.

thanks
