Will it all be okay?
I (30F) was diagnosed with Gastroparesis today after a GES showed only 27% emptying from my stomach by hour four. Up until four months ago I had absolutely no symptoms or knowledge of it, and suddenly I’m faced with the very scary possibility of potentially needing a feeding tube quite soon. I can’t stop crying about it, because I’ve already been hospitalized for the last week with no increase in oral intake. I want to go back home to my dogs and husband, but I might be here for weeks with a surgery and new way of life I don’t feel ready for. Basically…I’m scared. Can anyone who has been through the same thing please tell me, I feel so alone. My logical mind knows it will probably be alright, but hearing from others who made it out the other side to a happier life would really lift my spirits. Thanks yall
