I had Botox injections at Mayo in Arizona a few weeks ago. There has been some improvement with the “emptying” process, only one bad bought of Constipation followed by Diarrhea. Placing the blame for that on a holiday weekend and my poor choices of food as well as amounts. My life long problem has been when it’s good eat more or do more. That’s not working with Scleroderma
I was told Botox can work for some up to a year? How many times did you have the injections before surgery and how long did they last?
Is the surgery In-Patient ? What was the recovery like?
Good news is other than GUT issues my doctors are pleased with Lung Improvement numbers and the overall tests for Scleroderma indicators have improved TPN is administered every night for 12 hours and I’m on a as you can tolerate diet. I had lost over 150 lbs and was 120lbs when I became a patient at the Mayo. I now weigh 160lbs
Thanks for sharing I attend our local chapters monthly Scleroderma meetings and there are very few men and no
one has identical problems or symptoms
All the best to you

My botoxinjuection lasted about a month. Then I opted to have the surgery. The Botox injection was a trial run for the surgery. And since it helped they figured the surgery would too. When I had the surgery however I did have a partial gastrectomy due to a failed previous surgery. But I don’t feel that without the pyloriotomy I wouldn’t be doing as well as I am. I still have problems withconstipation when I have the flare ups but it has gotten better.
