It must be good to get back from Rochester. I personally have not had to be in hospital for myself, but been in there helping others. People who aren’t around hospitals a lot have no idea how many sick people there are in this world. That’s why I like to call it “Hospital World” , you have to go into a hospital to understand the reality for so many people like yourself who have to spend so many days and all the appointments that do wear you out physically and emotionally. Much respect to you for what you have to deal with and letting us understand what this illness entails.
I am surprised the doctor didn’t discuss having the tube changed from a gtube to a gjtube so you can do jtube feeds into your intestines instead of your stomach. Praying things improve for you gastroparesis is no fun for sure -fellow GP and EDS warrior
Hi Lauren, Thank you for sharing your healing journey with us. I love, how you show everything without sugar coating. Keep it up girl! You are so strong!
I have similar issues with my stomach, the thing that helped me immensely was an NJtube/Jtube. Anyways, I really hope things get better for you! Great video♥️
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!!! ❤
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.
Hey! In MN I have an actually MD doctor who manages my care and I see whenever Im there. His NPs are the ones who answer my messages and calls for last minute things. Hope that helps!

Hi Lauren,

Just happened by your videos and as an employee at Mayo Rochester clinics I’m happy to hear that you’re getting answers and good care here.
Wow, I'm so glad your trip ended up being productive! I'm so sorry you have to deal with so much pain. :(
NSAIDs is the word you were trying to say lol. It stands for Non-Steroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs.
Ahaha yes that’s it thank you!!
Glad this trip went better, and who knows, maybe next time you go you'll spot Yung Gravy, he's from Rochester you know!

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.
