Thanks for your reply, Brenda. Sorry you still are not feeling well. Your description of the procedure sounds 'confusing" I am in the medical field so I know quite about about surgeries, endoscopies etc. when you have an endoscopy they go in through your mouth with a tube (like an upper GI examination - which I am sure you have had many of) and they do the surgery through that tube (no incisions in the abdomen) it sounds like you have both? is the pyloroplasty all they did or did you have some other procedure like a hernia repair or something as well?

Anyhow - that is interesting that you can eat right up until an hour before you go to bed. That is my biggest problem - laying down with food in my stomach - it causes major pain/pressure/gas/nausea. I stop eating at 2 p.m. and only have liquids after that - soup with no chunks or thin purees - and I don't even eat any of that after 5-6 p.m.

I live in California - I was hoping the doc who did your surgery was nearby! Is he just a "regular GI doc" or did you go to a Gastroparesis "specialty" doctor?? There is one place near me that specializes in it - but its about 30 miles away and my insurance will not cover it unfortunately. I would very much like to know if the pyloroplasty helps you (once you are healed) and if you are able to eat normally again - or at least "better" and more different foods other than purees and toast!!
