Anyone w/ gastroparesis tried vagus nerve stimulator such as pulsetto?

I read about a vagus nerve stimulator, Pulsetto. I was anxious to try it but noticed mixed reviews. I know you can massage your vagus nerve but this product seemed to offer a more assurance of stimulating the vagus nerve.
Any comments or experiences?

@holly55 I wish I could say yes to this, but since I have an SCS I am not a candidate. I've had my vagus nerve stimulated other ways and it helped lots. I wish one of my best friends was on here bc he tried one and it failed him. He's got the severest form of Gastroparesis that I know of, and he's been thru the ringers and back. I will be getting coffee with him next week tho, so I can ask him and find out which one he had and maybe give better feedback. I'm sending all the luck in the world to you, friend! 🤞
