    ok don't have hubby pull it. if it is a saline baloon type holding it in, it has to be drained before they pull it. On the good side it was not painfull. no matter how much i was not looking forward to it.

    Old camper!
    Thank you for that! I am excited to have it removed. Hubby will not accept responsiblity
    if something did go wrong.

    Going tubeless...
    I had my PEG removed on Sep 28th and I felt like a new automobile tire: TUBELESS!

    Didn't hurt and took about 30 seconds: the docc deflated the balloon, told me to push my stomach out, and pulled the tube out. A little sting but no pain. Healed in a few days and now I can sport an extra belly button.

    Hang tough and enjoy re-introducing your body to real food.
