Peace out Peg Tube!

Haha, it's GONE! And the doctor even said I could have taken it out on my own if I wanted to, apparently a lot of people do...HA! It didn't hurt at all and it didn't bleed. I checked in at the admissions place, they brought me back to a room and took my vitals and told me to get in the gown, I argued for a second with the nurse wondering why I had to wear a gown for a 2 second procedure but I did it anyway. Then they came to take me back and I was informed that I did not need to go through all that stuff because it's an outpatient procedure (I could have told them that, and had tried a few times, but no one would believe me). I put my clothes back on and then they brought me back out to the waiting room but didn't tell the doctor that was removing the tube that they had moved me so he was looking all over the place for me. Finally I recognized him when he walked by and I asked him if he was looking for me, and he was. He brought me back, sat me on a table deflated the balloon, pulled the tube, and put a bandage over it and sent me on my way. I told him about how they had mentioned wanting to do an IV in case they had to do anesthesia and he laughed. I wanted to ask him if I would have been able to eat breakfast this morning before the procedure but I figured it was better to not know, I'm pretty sure I could have (I was starving by the time we got out of there!).

The good news is that the tube is out!!!
