Joined: Apr 2010 Posts: 201 | My sister went in on Wednesday and they took her PEG out. She is back to eating shakes with carnation breakfast vhc and has gained 2lbs. Not to shabby for a month post rads. She just wishes there was a better way for them to take it out. Jeez!!! I just have to say ChristineB thanks soooo much for all the advice you gave during her time with the Peg. We would have been so lost without you. =)
