Brenda, yes Mayo Clinic is studying the use of gastric per-oral endoscopic myotomy (G-POEM). Here is the abstract of a recent study.

Hello, I hope this message reaches someone. My mom had G-POEM surgery and is now on a j-tube. She has had nothing but complications with the j-tube. She was told there is an experimental trial but cannot find that any of the recommended hospitals in MI are able to provide her with the billing code for her insurance because it's experimental. She has insurance but is at a loss because she can't find anyone who's been in the trial or a place that can provide her the billing code(s). Because of this, she's getting nowhere on something she desperately needs. Is there a way to find out this information?
