New Gastrostomy button

[glitteryb6]

Swapped over from the mic-key button to the mini button....lets see how long he can keep this one in!
This is the 5th button since November

different shape balloon, more apple shaped than round so more in contact with the skin inside also low profile so a bit flatter to the skin, altho the balloon port sticks up quite a bit so not sure it'll work

oh blimey 5 buttons = 5 hozzie trips to sort out each time then... hope that the mini-button stays put!

Can they teach you to replace button by yourself so don't need to go back in when falls out?

yeah, i did todays myself and the first button change after he pulled it out during a feed, buttons 3 and 4 came out during the night so had to go to hossie as hole almost totally healed over, although i now have catheter tubes in increasing sizes to tackle that myself if it happens again!

glitteryb6 hope it works this time!

i hate how chloes mickey sticks out scared where ever she moves it will come out

the extension set seems heavier on this one and as the button is so light, when you connect it up it almost half pulls the button out!
