Linda - Please don't pull your peg tube out yourself. It sounds like yours would be safe enough to do so, but peg tubes can be very different. Many have a 'bulb' of saline on the inside to keep them from coming out. These can be jerked out, but it is a messy and painful process. Some tubes just slip right out - requiring nothing more. Some need a stitch or two to close the stomach and start the healing there. Get some counsel on this one - you probably don't need the 'excitement' of doing it wrong!! Be strong. Tom J
