gastro-pacemaker

Posted By dave on October 09, 1998 at 18:59:03:







Through a nuclear egg study I was found to have a "half-emptying time GT 200 minutes. None of the medications I tried in the past 8 years or so have worked.(reglan,propulsid,erythmycin etc.) My regular M,D. told me this week he heard there is noe a Gastrointestinal-Pacccemaker that can be surgically installed to send electric charges to stimulate stomach muscle contraction to relaive the gastroparesis slow emptying. Have you heard of this? Does it work?
Thank You,
dave
