I miss you and your candid honesty. You really did raise awareness and educate us.

You’re missed so much. RIP angel. I can’t imagine how much your family and Tom misses you but I’m so glad you’re not sick and suffering anymore. Love you lady❤️❤️

my gag reflex could never you’re so brave

I’m a nurse but I work mostly in the urology department so I wasn’t very familiar with gastrointestinal patients and their needs. Finally I understand why you need both the line and the feeding tube(button). I was so confused bc the calories and nutrients should be enough just from the line. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience.

You are such a strong gal and I am so grateful there’s someone this strong and brave out there walking this journey ahead of me as I am just beginning this journey. Sending love to you and so much appreciation, Amy!

A single feeding tube is so uncomfortable, 2 are a disaster. I can't imagine 3 😳bt I feel really brave seeing you do this and being brave too

I’ve had an NJ tube for a couple months now, and it’s one of the hardest things I’ve ever gone through. I’ve had them before, but this time is definitely worse. My body does not like it whatsoever and does all it can to reject it. Watching you talk about it really inspires me and it makes me proud to be the way I am. And it’s a hard thing to get through, but it’s strong people like you that make it easier for us to cope with issues like this. Love you and your videos❤️

I remember when i first found your channel when my gastro problems began to arise, and thankfully my issues can be resolved via medication only but i gotta say your videos really helped me feel less alone in the beginning!! But its also been so so so great to see your positive results in your journey lately! Truly happy for you 💕

I hope you know that you give all of your subscribers and viewers so much strength after watching your videos. I always feel so much better and confident and like there are more people like me after watching your videos ❤️❤️❤️

I’m so happy that you are healthy again and have reached your goal weight. I remember the first video I ever watched was your tpn vlog and I’ve binge watched you ever since but it’s so crazy to see how far you’ve come and I’m so happy for you x

Really loved this video! Having you talking as well as having diagrams was really helpful and educational without being too overwhelming!

You explained everything very well. Thanks for bringing awareness.

I really love watching your videos! It is so nice that you keep a positive attitude about all of this, and I love learning about all the medical stuff that's part of your life. You do such a good job of explaining it! Stay strong, you are amazing!

Thank you for being so open and explaining everything! And for being so kind and understanding in the comments! I think seeing and hearing a person tell their story makes it more human, and makes you realize it’s a real thing that real people have. Just reading about it online is very clinical, and I feel like people kinda get detached since articles aren’t usually talking about a specific person. It’s just giving symptoms, causes, and statistics. I hope you’re doing well. You’re always so upbeat and positive, it’s kinda contagious.

Your video made it Thursday night :) here in the U.S.A you are great about explaining things.. thank you

Amy you’ve been there for me through every stage of my own health issues since I started watching your channel and rewatching these old videos I know you always will be. We love you & miss you sweet girl ❤️

My little brother has only an 8th of his intestines so he’s had the mini button since he was 3 months old. He just turned 13 and it’s saved his life. About 2 years ago he got a picc line which is the semi permanent version of the Hickman, he gets TPN through that and it’s made him start gaining weight. I love watching your videos like this because I know exactly what you’re talking about :)

Love that you show all sides of reality, it really makes me feel like I’m not the only person who has bad times :) thanks for being so lovely! 😊❤️

You are such an amazing person!! Being able to share your story and teaching everyone how people like you live a normal life. You’re an inspiration!!!! Ily❤️❤️

You’re so strong and brave every time I feel down or unmotivated I watch your videos to give me the strength that you have and get inspired by your determination and power ❤️❤️

Congrats on reaching your goal weight! Keep fighting the fight! Glad you're healthier now ❤️

Wow! Bless you. You are helping others face some very daunting event in their lives. I appreciate the education, your optimism, and your thankfulness...for the technology that helps to keep you alive.

I had to have an NG for 2 days back in 2016 (I nearly died from an infection that caused a ruptured ulcer) and it was absolutely AWFUL! I couldn't imagine having it as long as you did. I'm so glad you were able to get a Central Line (your Hickman) and your feeding tube placed. I'm also an RN & have had plenty of patients with the NG placed, and I feel their pain. I'm glad you don't have to do that anymore hun.

I’m so grateful for everything just goes to show how people take the little things for granted you honestly the strongest person ever!❤️

I’m so glad you are doing so well. You look great! Thank you for being open and sharing your story to raise awareness. Keep going strong 🤗

I’m so proud of you for reaching a healthy weight! You’ve fought so hard for it! Yay!

My cousin has had gastroperisis for five years. Her stomach is completely paralysed and she also has a tpn feeding tube. I have found your videos so helpful and inspiring because they have helped me to learn about my cousins conditions. Xx

Very nice editing! I can see all the effort you put into your videos. Also you look more beautiful every day! Congrats on the 20kg!

Amy, when I first saw the title of this video I was so worried about you and my mind was racing as to why you'd be back on nasal feeding tubes... then I started watching and felt stupid. Lol I love that you are always working so hard to post videos that truly teach people who aren't familiar with these diagnosis's and what all they entail to stay healthy. TPN has done amazing things for you, 20kg is crazy and you look so so beautiful and healthy!!! The first ever video I saw of yours was the "2 tubes??" video and I'm so glad I happened upon that video. You are a bright ray of sunshine in this increasingly negative and hateful world.

you are so brave and strong! im over here freaking out when i have to get a shot to numb my mouth at the dentist and you are over here with all these things going into you. Even though you have to so you can live, it is still amazing because I could never. I can deal with blood but i cant watch a needle go in without looking away. And i love how you have a positive attitude and are kind of educating us about this!!

girl i love it when you talk medical😂! i have a chronic illness so i know all the terms and sometimes i’m talking to people and they’re like ?¿ what’s that in english ?? and i’m like whoops forgot people don’t know all the medical terms i know😅

Thank you for sharing your experience and raising awareness! I always learn so much from your videos 😘♥️

Great content, Amy! You explained everything really well. Love your videos ❤

Bless your heart - I admire you. The thought of even one tube going down my throat makes me feel like I am choking lol. You look amazing though! Praise God for feeding tubes and TPN.

Amy you are amazing! I have learned so much from your channel. Just the other day I was telling my dad about gastroparesis, EDS, and about the different types of feeding tubes. He said he couldn't believe how smart I was but I learned it all from you :') I am so happy for you that you're healthy and happy!!

I’ve had a feeding tube, and it hurts like absolutely hell, talking and even swallowing saliva gets just impossible

I don't have gastro paresis but I love watching your videos. They are very informative and I love learning new things. I was gonna watch this last night when it popped up in my notifications but I didn't get around to it. I went to my doctor yesterday and I've got double pneumonia. I always pray for you Amy. You are awesome hun 😘❤😘❤😘❤😘❤😘

So happy that you’re at your goal weight! ❤️ you look so healthy and gorgeous as always love your make up

I appreciate that you take the time to explain this stuff. I take my hat off to you. I also have EDS, GP and MCAD and some other things. I also have feeding tube but fairly new to the journey. Keep going :)

This was so good and so interesting to learn about through your videos! Love your videos and hope your doing well 💕💕

Your Make up looks amazing!! Happy feeding tube week!

SHE IS SO STRONG i love you 😭😭😭💜💜💜

Amy you have already won many battles, you are a big warrior of life!! :D

You are so incredibly strong and I love your channel! Your videos really helped me understand Gastroperesis (after never having heard about it) then when my daughter was being tested for it late 2018 I went straight to your channel..and even though I was scared and disappointed that it would change her life I had hope from watching you live your life. Thankfully she doesn't have Gastroperesis but we still aren't sure what she has. Anyway, love you keep making videos you are a light of hope to all of us out here in KZfaq world!

Thank you for all the information! Stay brave!

Amy , you look amazing and HEALTHY! So happy for you and glad that something is helping. Thanks for sharing your story.

I so remember how sick you were with your Gastro-pacing, you were so sick! And you never seemed to be happy. I’m so happy you have found what works for you!! Great to see you !! You are looking amazing today, and your beaming 😊 Wonderful thing to see! xo

Thank you Amy! I'm rewatching these videos about feeding tubes because my dad has non hodgkin's lymphoma and is doing radiation now. There is a chance he may have to have a surgically placed tube. Your videos make me feel more at ease you explain things so well. Thank you again you dont know how much you've helped me! 💕 Stay well sweet girl praying for you during this crazy virus outbreak!

As always your strength and postivity gives me such hope for the future. You are completely beautiful. I look forward to watching everyday 💚💚💚💚💚

I've always wondered why you need the G/J tube when you have your TPN. Thanks for explaining it so well!

I couldn't stop staring at her eyes, very well done makeup :)

YOU are so inspiring

Yes Friday the 8th Feb. Hi Amy you’re awesome. Also love “things that make you go hmm...”

Happy feeding tube awareness!! Another very interesting video 😊 xx

You are sooo beautiful!.. I also have some gastrointestinal issues but they are nothing compared to what you have to experience every day.. I wish you all the best in your fight with this horrible desease, you are adorable and brave and you deserve the best!

You are looking so good and healthy! Loved this video!

This was excellent!! You are a good teacher!! ❤️🙏❤️👌

Wow your makeup looks amazing!! Your so beautiful and strong.

I have had an NG tube for one week and thought I’d go crazy with it! I know it’s different when you’re life literally depends on it, but man my nose hurt so bad after that week!! I have an auto immune disease called Myasthenia Gravis and one of the man symptoms is it can make swallowing very difficult. So I they placed the no tube for feedings and for medications that didn’t come in IV or liquid forms. You have been through so much and are clearly a very strong person and are making the best of the situation!!!

One of your best !!! Very educational. Love it. ❤️😎

i got an ng placed yesterday which is pretty apt lololol. thank you for making everything clearer and less scary, as always

Amy I am soooo proud of you!! You look amazing and beautiful!! Not that you didn’t before! I have gastropareris too it sucks

Amy!! you look so gorgeous with those cheeks!! hope you keep getting healthier and better everyday, much love❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Thank you for sharing your experience. You are incredible!

You are absolutely amazing and i love your videos. Thank you for takomg the time to teach people about all of this.

I've had countless intestinal blockages following a colectomy. This meant that I needed way to many NG tubes that were the largest gauge possible to keep me from persistently vomiting and my intestine from rupturing. It was so miserable, let me tell you. Since I couldn't eat for a total of 2 or 3 months, they had to place me on tpn. I was way to skinny and looked ghostly. Tpn has saved my life and I don't know where I would be without it. Now I'm all healthy and back to a normal life style. Thank you so much for raising awareness towards NG tubes and tpn. This will hopefully reduce the amount of stares and comments one gets with these medical devices that are keeping them alive. Many have no idea about how uncomfortable it is going out in public while getting intravenously fed.

I’ve had a NG tube before and it was probably the most uncomfortable I’ve ever felt in 18 years of life. I have been having some GI trouble recently so I’ve been watching videos like this just to educate myself (I’ll be going back to the doctor soon). But I just wanted to say thank you for all the information! I’m familiar with some of this because of having multiple colonoscopies and endoscopies. Glad to see you’re gaining weight and doing better. Very easy to understand this video even if I didn’t have any prior knowledge.

You explained it all beautifully :)) You're a strong lass, all power to you :)

Thank you for doing this video and helping us understand a little more. You are such a strong a d positive person! You motived me to want to do a video about my rheumatoid arthritis💜

Im watching this on fri 8th in the UK :). The pictures where very hopeful

I work part-time in a home for kids who are severely disabled and five of our nine kids have a feeding tube. One has it because she has Diabetis and it is important for her to have her sugars on a normal level (so if she doesn't want to eat, she'll get the food down her tube) and four kids have it because they don't eat or don't eat enough. All kids have buttons, but I have actually never seen one with a function for draining, like yours. I think it is pretty amazing that these kids get their nutritions even though it is too exausting for them to eat or they can't swallow their food.

You explained it perfectly!!! Thank you :)

I love your content. I was diagnosed with gastroparesis based on symptoms (my GES always normal) I do not have it as bad as you or others. But, I'm unable to consume more that 500 calories a day. Some days are better than others and most of the time the foods/drinks I tolerate are not high in nutrition. Both my GP and Gastroenterologist are highly against me being tube fed and want to work with me just eating. My GP told me to "just eat" yesterday like it was easy battling the nausea and epigastric fullness. You're content helps me feel less alone and is very informative incase I do eventually get to some of these points.

So happy for you reaching your goal weight! You've been doing soooooo good with all these videos! You rock!

I love you so much omg😍

Thanks for the awareness your awesome !!!

Very informative, thanks for sharing👍🏻 hope everything will goes well for u🤗

Your a strong girl Amy. When I was a baby I had a feeding tube. I love you ❤️❤️

Fantastic news about your weight. Here's hoping that this next year will get better and better for you ⚛️☮️

I love how she's says vitamins ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Loved this video xx

I just found your channel and I know this video is old but you are so strong and beautiful keep pushing ❤️❤️!!!!

You described everything great Your so strong I have had my NG for 6 month and i find it so painful at times I have a polyp in my nose and can’t change sides I hope I do t have it as long as you did I remember you where really down about having it so long p.s You look so pretty love your makeup in this ❤️

First I want to say hi and love your videos. Please make the merch that says things that make you go hmm Second you are beautiful inside and out and to see how you thrive even though you have Gastroparesis and POTS and still smile and have fun. Can't wait for more videos.

So proud of you your so strong your such a reall inspiration Get well and God bless

hey, Amy I just wanted to say how much you inspire me ❤️. since early childhood I experienced EDS symptoms, but I live in Brazil and unfortunately there aren't many doctors here that know about this condition. so, when I turned 16 and things started to get worse, specially the joint pain, the doctors thought I had lupus and treated me for 3 years with a lot of meds, including steroids. the result was that I gained a lot of weight, stretch marks all over my body (literally a zebra lol) and was extremely bloated. I was cyberbullied during those years and my confidence was super down. I started to develop body dysmorphia, OCD and clinical depression. everything changed when I went to a geneticist last year and ended up finding out that I actually have EDS. now I'm being properly treated with medications for my pain (specially on knees and ankles), depression, OCD and doing some physiotherapy so I can gain muscles on my legs and hopefully start feeling less pain and, that the pain becomes more sparse. I'm also taking 60mg of duloxetine and is helping me with the chronic pain (does it make you sleepy? cause after I take my dose I feel the need to take a nap). thank god I never broke or deslocated any part of my body, but I do miss dancing ballet and doing gymnastics. Now I know that I won't be able to dance anymore due to my condition. but I'm determined to enjoy more of my life, find some genre of dance that is appropriate for me and keep fighting. I have some good days, others not so good, but I'll continue to learn and deal with the pain that will be a part of my life until I die. so, thank you so much for showing me that I can be happy and have a ~normal~ life. seeing someone like you gives me hope. xx ❤️❤️❤️

This video is amazing Thank's!!!

My little guy has epilepsy. He had brain surgery at 3 months and has a G tube. He originially had to switch to a J tube for a while, but he started to tolerate again. Hes now starting to eat orally. Love your videos!

🤓Well done, you explained it very well, thank you 😷

I love you and your videos and you are so strong😊😊😊

I have Crohns Disease and in 2017 my colon and intestines stop working and I got an ileostomy placed. And when I was in the hospital I got a blockage because my stomach didn’t wake up properly and I had to have a suction tube put in. And before I had my ileostomy I had a NG tube so I can get nutrients because I don’t absorb them properly

Thanks you explained things awesome

My disabled sister has a feeding tube because she struggles taking fluids. Edit: she has the longer one as the button kept getting infected

when you say you threw up your pacemaker did you throw up that medium kind of square??
