Steve,
Glad to hear the good news. Loved your story. I think I felt the same way going through it all.
I had my peg removed after nine months after it was put in. I was glad to get rid of too. I kept until I knew I could eat OK. Yes it does smart some!! Ha ha!!
So glad things are starting on the up and up. I was at 3 months when I started to feel some improvements. I still run into a bump or two but doing better. So Happy for you !
Take care,
Diane
