What is the procedure OPOEM?
I would so like to inquire about this for me. I would love to eat more foods and be able to gain some of my weight back.
I weighed 130 when this started and now can’t get get above 104 pounds.

G Poem is a procedure done endoscoply during which s “tunnel” is made by separating layers of the mucosa in the pylorus so that food empties from the stomach into the small intestine. My husband also takes an antihistamine, cyyproheptadine, which somehow enables him to eat more. The weight gain is slow , but at least he can eat larger amounts than before the procedure. The GPOEM was done at Columbia New York Presbyterian Hospital by Dr Sethi
