I did not have a port, but did have the PEG tube. It will hurt just a little for about 3 minutes. They will yank it out. It will feel like a sting. Then you will have to keep area clean & dry for a few days. It will take about 2 weeks for it to heal and seal it self. Make sure you get the information on how to care for the area so that you do not get any infections.
Take care
Diane
