Gastroparesis with severe symptoms!

Enterra therapy is a device that is implanted under your skin to help with the nausea and vomiting caused by gastroparesis. I have tried most of the medications and alternate therapies, fodmap diet, vitamin and mineral supplements, acupuncture for my gastroparesis, and none of them seem to help. Most made me sicker. Finding a doctor to treat has seemed nearly impossible. I have an appointment set up for Mayo in Jacksonville, but it's not until Oct. I have been dealing with this for over 2 years. You can find out more about Enterra at their website. They are having a webinar of Aug. 5 to get more information.

My wife is under the care of gastronology at Mayo Jacksonville. We just has an appointment in which he expalin the role of the implant and it has shown to help with and what it has shown to not help with.

Gastrolnology has specific doctors for exams and specific doctors who perform speicalty surgeries.
Good Luck. FYI: Come early if your appointment is in morning to find a parking space. If full you can use the parking garage but you have to pay 5.00 where the outside parking is free.
