Thank you for your responses. I have had my PEG changed out 4 times. Once in Office and twice in out patient. It was originally placed at the end of a badly keloid Gallbladder removal scar. The first PEG was large and others smaller. The opening didn't get smaller but did develop a growth about 1/4" in size on side which bled and leaked everyday.

The one replaced in office - the tube filled with blood. I returned to Dr and he had my wife flush as he had no syringes in office.

I have made and appt with a surgeon to discuss remove the stoma hole all together (football shaped cut around the hole). Then stitch it back together in layers.
