Hi, i had recently had a peg tube feeding tube removed from my stomach, on march 11th this year, i'm not sure if they properly removed i'm still having a lot of leaking and drainage coming from the wound, they said it would take 3 days to close,?

Should : Have closed by now. Have a follow up with your doc, sometimes infections are the culprit for non closure. Cultures may be needed from the drainage.
