A recent bout of gastroparesis return required a repeat of hospitalizations, dehydration, renal failure etc. I restarted my domperidone after reglan nor erythromycin worked. I also took amitiza aftyer zelnorm went off market. Supposedly I went into CHF due to tyhe Domperidone & a cardiac issue, ICU , adrenal glands shut down, kidneys didn't work. This was miserable I ended up on massive steroids weight gain blah, blah , blah. I am a chronic asthmatic controlled however gastroparesis hiatal hernia and myodysplasia. Those are my issues
Should I have the new laparoscopic fundoplication surgery, wrap recommended highly from my internist (whom decided after not recommending the procedure there is a new safer procedure laproscopically? He feels my lungs can take it and then I wouldn't requre the continued need of tons meds. I weigh 190 now from steroids. I'm unsure of what to do Should I have the surgery now? I have just started feeling less than dead blood counts normal , no meds and a decrease in vomiting. I take tigan and zofran for that PRN I trust my Internist he is also a friend of 20 years He knows me. I don't want to be worse though than before. I have an appt with the surgeon on Tues. Help
