j tube is a feeding tube. And they use a gastric pace maker for the stomach. It makes the stomach spasm to imitate digestion. My old gi told me it was my only hope... I'm now scheduled to see a different gi to get a second opinion

I'm actually being treated by the Cleveland Clinic now and moved here from Texas/New Mexico just for that reason. If I can help you with the processes or anything let me know. You're definitely not alone...
