How to change out a Gtube button

My precious little baby has had a g-tube since he was 3 weeks old and he’s gonna be 2 next week!! Changing these was so unbelievably scary for me in the beginning but now I feel like a champ and it’s no big deal. If anyone’s reading this you will get the hang of it!!❤️

Thank youuu so much for this! My 6 week old daughter gets the g tube next week and the nurses will train me on how to care for it I was so nervous but now I feel relieved on how easy you make it look!!! Thank youuu again for posting this!

So nice of you to post this video!

I had a g tube peg in my stomach and I had to get it change a long time ago and I had my tube out and now I'm not having it anymore but it did feel weird when the doctor took the tube out and I was nervous and uncomfortable but now I'm free without it in my stomach

You did an incredible job keeping her comfortable. I have a family member who just got a low profile tube with a non balloon bumper and the difference after years of a standard tube dangling from the belly is such a lifechanger. We have a pretty crappy GI but we only see him when the tube needs to be changed. Did your GI train you how to change the tube? And were you able to ask for that specific type of tube? Over the years we we found that our doctor had misled us numerous times and said we could not get a low profile tube and just had to use whatever the hospital has. I actually spoke directly with the hospital and requested this tube. Low and behild, he showed up for the procedure and she got the low profile tube. We are going to change doctors now

she is so brave. I went through this for 11 years and the best thing I can tell you is it does hurt and I don't know what you can do to make it not hurt but just hug them and tell your girl you love her. even after getting it removed I still feel the pain some days it is hard but then you realize you're a survivor you overcame this. if it helps you may want to get her something to watch or distract her from it so it isn't as bad.

Thank you for this video. I was nervous changing my sons for the first time because it was hurting him but you showed me that it's supposed to hurt and I was able to get it done.

God Bless this precious child! I pray that she will one day not have to wear it!! Get well soon little one! Mom great job!!🙏🙏🥰🥰

Good Job Mom and the little one was such a brave one.

She did so good. Thank you for the video

I have a J tube and it’s about to be switched from the dangler to the miniONE button. I’ve been so nervous, so I’m searching for information. At 34 years old, coming across this video of such a little babe handling this like a champ, I feel pretty silly for being afraid. I hope she’s doing alright!

She is so brave!God bless her

小孩太懂事了，配合的很好👍。上帝保佑你平安健康！

Great video thank you. Surgeons are only human I know.but I feel you! The medical system in the US is based on money first patient last so they are working within that system...

вы, ребята, такие смелые, и я надеюсь, что Бог благословит ваше сердце и вашу семью.

Aww poor baby! My son has one and I've been trying to take his tube out for good instead of going to the hospital. He's perfectly fine and I regret having the doctors put an unnecessary tube in his body. I will try taking it out myself and letting it heal on its own. He's always been a little smaller than the average size child but he was much better off without the tube because he began relying on it and stopped eating actual food so I'm making the decision to remove it for good. I know what's best for my child and it seems that doctors don't realize that not every child is going to be the same, weight wise. Thank you so much for your video I will definitely be giving this a try ☺️

Great tutorial video! Thank you for sharing.

What a brave cute little girl😘😘😘😘😘

My son's tube sticks out more then thickness of a dime and it doesn't leak. I use a few drops of tea tree mixed in 1 Oz of witch hazel to clean his site twice a day and then I use a thin layer of Desitin rash cream the purple tube. I then loosely put a sterile bandage that's not taped to the skin. Only taped on the underside of the bandage to keep closed. His g tube site Is perfect with granulation tissue. Another mother shared this. Before I did this he had granulation tissue and redness. I wish I could use those cotton g tube rounds. He didn't do good with them. Don't know why. I cleaned them real well . Your little one is sweet. God bless her.

She is so brave I have been through this for 8 months bc I ripped it out when I was a baby
