I have been searching for information, or anyone, who has experienced chronic Mesenteric ischemia. Dod you have surgery or stents? The that I have seen wants to eait 6 months to see if I lose more weight, or start having worse pain and nausea. Somehow I don't think waiting until I am in such bad shape to do something about it is going to work for me. I am not comfortable with this.
I can find no support groups for this diagnosis, and although it is a rare condition, there must be someone that has maybe a similar experience.

Hi, @grandmajo -- I merged your post with this one, as I think your best connections are here, like @kariulrich, @susanf and @jmmb. Hoping they can share what they know about mesenteric ischemia and whether they may have had surgery or stents or may have known others who did. I also trust they might be able to help you with the further information you are seeking.

How have you been feeling?

@grandmajo ... I replied to an earlier message. I am familiar with mesenteric ischemia, I have ischemia also have had surgery twice. Do you know if there are several arteries involved? Have you had a cath angiogram with pressures?
