Stomach Tube won't deflate. Any similar experiences? Solutions?

I had my 3 week post op appointment yesterday to have my stomach tube removed. Unfortunately, after 3 or 4 different Drs. tried, they still couldn't get the balloon to deflate. I was instructed to go home and try tugging on it 2 or 3 times a day until it comes out. Has anyone else had a similar experience? Any info would be appreciated. Thanks.
