Recently diagnosed with Gastroparesis
Hello I’ve recently been diagnosed with Gastroparesis and have a question please. I read about a lot of you with g-tubes and implants. Can I ask how long did it take you to get to that point? I’m very scared to think this happens to most at some point.

I think the Motility Clinic works as a multidisciplinary team so I'm not sure if you can make an appointment with a specific doctor unless you get a recommendation from someone and can request an appointment on their bio page. If you go the Motility section for Rochester on this page, it lists the doctors and you can read their bio plus there is a link to request an appointment - https://www.mayoclinic.org/departments-centers/gastroenterology-hepatology-digestive-care/sections/doctors-by-location-and-specialty/gnc-20356421.
Thank you for the information.

1 ReactionInc reply to terree to @terree I’m newly diagnosed with this condition. My dr decided this after my gallbladder removal and I was still
having no hunger. I am scheduled for a 4-hour study of my gastric movements to try to pinpoint the cause.
Hello. I was also recently diagnosed with GP. I was also fearful after reading the warnings on that med. But after talking to my dtr who is a NP I have started it. There is no guarantee of course but she told me getting Parkinson’s from it was very rare. We all have to make our own decisions though. Best of luck to you.
