Hello everyone. My question is about the removal process for a PEG tube. It was inserted in July 2014 and they'll be taking it out soon. If any of you have been through this- is there pain and discomfort during the procedure? Or after? I've spent many months being gentle and delicate with that area of my stomach, so the idea of someone pulling or pushing that area makes me nervous. Also did any of you need to take time off from work after the removal or did you feel well enough to move around. Since I have used up almost all of my vacation time recovering from treatment, I don't want to use another day off unless I really have to. Any advice?
