Hi Hayley,

I feel ya' sister! I am right where you were in February. I got my PEG put in last Thursday and it hurts more now than it did then. I'm sucking down ibuprofen, but sitting, standing and lying down are agony. Tomorrow I have an appointment to have it loosened, and I'm praying that like Markus, the pain will subside. I'm on the heavy side and its really, really tight.

(No need to comment, I just needed to vent!)
