I joined my husband for his appointment with the R.O. at Moffit this morning and afterwards they called in the 'peg' nurse to remove the peg. She said it would be very quick and might be a bit painful, positioned herself, pulled (I guess, I wouldn't look actually) - nothing - tried again - nothing - and gave up. She said it was positioned oddly and he would need an endoscopic procedure under anesthesia to remove it.

Talk about a disappointment! Has anyone else had this happen. They seemed to indicate it was a one in a thousand occurrence - which might explain why he had so much pain for 3-4 days after the peg was first put in. The ironic thing is that he never used it for anything but water.
