Peg Removal

John I've had two, the first was removed in hospital and was completely pain free; the second (last year) was removed in my lounge by a district nurse in minutes, nothing to worry about at all.

Thanks Mikeo, that's really put my mind at ease.

Thanks to all who replied.

God bless

Yes a stomach peg and like you I was in agony for days after having it fitted so probably why I was nervous about having it removed too but honestly it was quick and painless and was done at my house by a nurse 

Hi John, hope the PEG helped during your cancer treatment/surgery, agree with MikeO, easy as ABC.

Thanks Chris,

                        Yes, it was a lifesaver as I couldn't eat for over 5 weeks and lost over 3 stone.

Hi John, 

I had my PEG fitted in July 2021 and replaced in October 2021. I finally had it removed two weeks ago. It took all of 10 seconds and I didn't feel a thing. I was a little bit sore for a couple of days after but just wore loose fitting trousers for comfort.

Best wishes

Hi John,

I had peg in stomach too. 

It took 5 minutes to remove mine. I opted not to have any sedation. Odd feeling it pulled out and just felt a little bruised the next day.

I'd been anxious too as I struggled when it was first fitted. 

Just left with a dimple now 5 months later.

Hope all goes well and please update us when you get scan results.

Thanks Gill and Claire,

                                        Due to have it out tomorrow so will update how it went.

Regards

John
