Luckily I was still in so much pain from my glossectomy and neck dissection and free flap surgery, the PEG was just another note in a symphony of agony. The Psychological pain of the PEG was much worse than any physical symptoms as the PEG repesented the end of the fiction that I could deal with this cancer on my terms. I hated the thought of a PEG and hate the reality of a PEG even more. Yet, I would be dead without it now.
Your PEG should not feel "too tight" - I don't even notice mine now at all.
