Pam

My sincere sympathy for your PEG pains. Everybody here knows I was a conscientious objector to PEG the first time around and I am still dismayed at how little attention and follow up, let alone any warnings, are given on the consequences of this elective procedure. Bleeding does not sound right. For what it's worth, your experience with the surgeon sounds similar to mine. I had to get the Director of Patient Advocacy personally involved at my hospital in order to get a new PEG put in correctly after my first one started leaking.
Again sorry for your pain and bleeding, how could you not help worrying about them?
