Hello Michelle,

The peg tube removal was nothing more than them grabbing ahold of it and pulling it out. Some do this without med's. I asked to be sedated and they gave me some adivan. It felt like someone punched me in the belly. The pain lasted only a few seconds. Some hurt more than others. Compared to what Dan has been through this will be nothing to worry about. It is usually done in the doctors office.

Best Wishes, Danny Boy
