Mine is gone too. I also had the one with the stopper at the end.. (same type as peace4uall described). They just ripped it out... I did not get anything but was told if he did this at the hospital he would provide sedation. I had quite a bit of oxycodone left, and after reading the PEG stories I took a half dose of that. With this is was tolerable a quick sharp pain, by the time you try to figure what hurts it is pretty much gone...
All in all considering everything else a non event.

FREEDOM! (But it was important to have)
