It seems that the one that I had migrated too far into the duodenum and they think that's why I was getting sick with the feeds. I hope they are right because my stomach still doesn't feel all that great, but I suppose that could be due to the procedure earlier today. They replaced it with a low profile peg called the" Mic-Key". I've done one feed with it and so far, so good. I'll keep you posted.
