So u had to eat all of those toast before the procedure?

I have a feeding tube is called a gj

I love watching your channel

You got this you are so breave

i had one but not anymore

Are you still on the tube

You absolutely can taste the tracer. They put mine in oatmeal and I was gagging

You are soooo strong good job

My name is Tyler Stone and I go to Duke Hospital and I'm 25 yrs old

Had this done about a week ago. By the time the 4 hour test was done I had not eaten or drank for 16 hours (except the egg white and toast). Of course I had no problem getting that through my stomach. It's a normal size meal that includes at least a little fat that makes digestion difficult. Take something to read.

How are you lauren at this time

My 14 year old who’s previously had an ND tube with moderate-severe gastroparesis and previous SMA syndrome (along with classical EDS, and POTS) needs a G/J tube placed. She’s failed all motility drugs. How long did you have to wait before your physicians decided you needed the surgical tube?

i have anorexia and this is ...ewww for me T-T

Ur hot

I think I'm weird, I thought the eggs tasted fine, haha! I got egg whites actually, and they had salt and pepper which I absolutely used. Voila! Easiest study I've done by far. Good luck to anyone getting it! You've got this.

Lauren thank you so much for sharing all these details with us. Can I ask about how much it costs for a week there? Just doctors and labs - not including hotels, meals, travel… I might need to go get a diagnostic and not sure what to expect (and we don’t have insurance that extends outside my state, in states where Mayo is available). I hope you are well!!! ❤

The beginning of this video can be incredibly dangerous to people with epilepsy and other conditions

Wow I’m surprised you can tolerate salad!

you are in my town at the hospital. I am going to do this test on this Monday. Thank you for posting

Thank you for posting that is very helpful

you always smile like this

Hope everything works out for your family. At least Arizona won't have the humidity of us and Florida, right?

Good to see you back! I'm sorry to hear about your mom. Congrats to you and your dad on your new endeavors!

You are beautiful ❤❤

Hi Lauren. May I ask how old you are?

Hi Lauren. I got diagnosed with Gastroparesis in February of 2021 and my gi. Specialist told me that there was no cure or treatment for it. If I got treatment like your doing I think I would feel so much better. I want to thank you for your videos on TH-cam. Sincerely Margaret.

It's the kitten and his adorable little moew for me soooooo cute ❤

This video was ages ago but I want to know how to pass through the resistance . I feel like I’ve tried every tip out there and would rather manage it myself than bother a nurse … please help 😢and well done !

Why does it hurt/make people nauseous and throw up? I’m so scared of throwing up 🥺

I’m getting my test done today not looking forward to it.

OH MY WORD GIRL SAME- I might be admitted to the hospital tonight or tomorrow, and I totally shaved today cuz it was bad (with my Dysautonomia side, shaving hurts so I only shave when needed)

Lmao girl , I’m worse maybe. Red Bull with all 6 meds 😂😂😂 I have RA,Sjrogrens ,ILD, MCTD , scleroderma. Glad I found your TH-cam 🥰

Just started watching the video but now I kind of feel lucky that I have twist cap connections on my feeding tube because mine is also a NJ tube

I have had a lot of health problems this last year and had an NG until October which is when I got my G tube. I’ve not had a change yet but am VERY due for one. I’m so terrified about it. How do you know you got it all the way into the stomach and didn’t just move the stomach out of the way? I can’t feel my insides and so I think I’d just miss my stomach and have to go to the hospital. My nearest hospital is 30 minutes away so it’s much harder to feel comfortable with changing it myself. 😭

Can u feed orally

I’m actually at the Doctors office getting this same test done right now. The eggs were gross!!

I just subscribed

U will have to be careful that kitty doesn't damage ur cords when he is older with his teeth and claws

Omg ur kitten is ADORABLE. The little meow ❤❤❤❤

You are cute, enjoyed your video.

Hi! I go to the Mayo in Jacksonville. Can I ask a question if you don’t mind sharing? Was your gastro appointment with a actual gastro doctor or a nurse practitioner? They only let me see a nurse practitioner and I’ve never seen the doctor. Mayo told me gastro patients at mayo never see the actual docs because all they do are procedures? Is this your experience in Minnesota? Hope you’re doing well and I love your videos.

when i was on my tube for a couple weeks i eventually got to 200ml per hour, it was such shit

The Mayo Clinic is amazing !

Yikes I would be like Hugh NOPE I’d rather miss my infusions than let them anywhere near my Port that’s really bad. I’m sorry you went through that. I’d 💯 walk out of that place. Stand up for yourself!! Their pride being hurt is no where near as important than your port being accessed correctly!

I had the helicobacter pylori bacteria a few years ago, two weeks on heavy antibiotics, and 12 antibiotic pills a day. It was not nice.

I want to try the Botox injections but, my insurance won't pay for it and I can't afford 4 injections at 4000+ a piece.

I hope you have a good birthday ♥️

Chai with peppermint is my fav Starbucks order and I will die with this one lol

Thanks for taking us along on your week. Always enjoy your videos 👏

Has mayo set you up with their nutritionist? Mellisa Stewart is one and she changed my life. Got my diet so that my stomach now moves easier. Good luck!
