I have found the plastic disc (round plastic piece by stomach about the size of a half dollar) to be easily adjusted. When its too tight it can cause alot of discomfort. I adjust mine myself very easily. If you bend the disc almost in half toward your stomach, you should be able to very gently slide the disc outwards. Just be very careful not to pull on the feeding tube while you move the disc.
