Any new treatments for Vegus nerve injury?

Posted by brendaharvey @brendaharvey, Apr 19, 2022

I am diagnosed with Gastroparesis. I took a fall prior to the start of my pain. I hit directly on my tail bone on a carpeted step. Didn’t think I was hurt at all. But looking back now 3 years later and love living through many tests, diet, medication and seem to slowing be getting better, could this fall have started the Gastroparesis? Is there a chance of getting to eat real food again without painful results? Lost from 130 pounds to 102 today. From year 2019 tom2022? Any new treatments for Vegus nerve injury??

My husband is 82 and he had the procedure two months ago. He can eat more food than he did before the procedure, but he has not yet been able to put on weight He can eat salad and eats normal food but at times still gets a feeling of being full when he has not eaten that much.

Thank you so much for responding. I am 79 so I want to look into having this G POEM procedure done. My daughter and I love to travel together but since I can only eat specific foods, we have been unable to do this. I missed out on trip to Germany and to Greece. Thank you so much for posting this. I will pray for your husband to gain some weight and to keep feeling better and better🙏🏻 Brenda

How does GPOEM differ from Plyloroplasty? Does anyone know? I am scheduled for a Pyloroplasty on 11/1 and I am very nervous. I was disagnosed with gastroparesis, which I knew occurred when I have migraines, but it has started to become more painful all on it's own even when I do not get the headaches. The gastric emptying study they did showed that it is taking a ludicrous amount of time for my stomach to empty so I am nauseated and bloated most of the time.
