Vanessa,

Pain "like you have been kicked in the stomach by a horse" is a common complaint for a few days after the procedure. If it continues, then you need to squawk. My Bill has a very high pain threshold but his Peg surgery was very painful and he was laid low for about three days...after that he slowly quit being sore like any other surgery....and never had another moments trouble with his Peg tube...we just cleaned the area with, first sterile saline, and then just wet guaze around the site. We used the slit pads to protect and absorb the residual gunk that will always be there and wrapped his belly with a large velcro- ended Ace Bandage that kept the tube tucked.

Tylenol is not adequate to handle this pain...let's suggest the doctor go thru it and see for himself.
