Going to Mayo Jacksonville for Gastroparesis...what to expect

Hi there. Not sure if I ever got back to you. Life has been a whirlwind and brain fog is too real. LOL I go in 4 days. I feel better after reading everyone's experiences on here. Do you have any advice or knowledge about what to expect? I am very scared that I may go and speak to the gastro doctor and they may shrug me off and send me right home same day. I know someone this just happened too. Scheduled test for months from now. That is a huge fear. I am in hopes I speak to them, they go over my issues, want to run test or do something to help me on the spot.
Any advice or experiences you can share would be greatly appreciated! Thanks so much and hope all is well on your end.
Kimberly

@gastrogirl Hi. You didn't get back to me, but no worries. I mistakenly responded to your plea for help because I have a good deal of gastrointestinal experience, but no experience with attending at Mayo Clinic. I'm sure you got excellent advice from the Mayo Connect group who have actually attended Mayo Clinic. I wish you lots of luck in your pursuit of better health and I'm sure you're going to find Mayo Clinic will be a wonderful experience for you. (I wish I could go too!)

Oh and so I take oxycodone for the pain in my stomach and it's prescribed, I do not take it very often but the Dr there will absolutely tell you that opioids cause every medical issue. He insinuated that I was addicted but I am definitely not, so then he said chronic, and that's not the case either. I get them for my pain but it does not mean I take them, also they will do a 7 panel drug screen too.
