I am having my G-tube out next week and I am nervous about it. I am wondering does it hurt when they pull it out? What does it feel like?  What happens to the hole in the stomach where it came from? Advice? Thank you.

Hi!
Congrats on your surgery!.  When I had my G Tube removed, it didn't hurt but it was uncomfortable when they removed it.  Just a little more uncomfortable than when they removed the catheter.  Hope this helps.  
The hole closes up.  After a month or so, it's just a mark.
