I am thinking about removing or replacing my PEG. I have the one with the balloon on the inside. I have gone online and read that it is very simple, just deflate the balloon, pull it out, and either replace it or bandage it up. The only thing is the don't tell you how to deflate the balloon. Does anyone know how to do this?
