When Dad was in Rehab and I complained about his weight loss. That was the first thing they recommended was surgical implantation of a feeding tube. After reading up on the survival rates of elderly with feeding tubes (not good), I rejected that idea.

Dad kept saying if I took him home, he would eat more. And insurance for the rehab was about to run out anyway. So I took him home, but he didn’t eat more. And then I was talking to the pharmacist about him and he recommended Megase. It worked for him. I think it should always be tried prior to feeding tubes.
