I Have post operative gastropanesis.. the result of a Nissen fun. failure .. that was in 2015.. the damage to the hairnet like nerve system that empty the stomach were damaged... they do not regenerate.. there is no reversal.. every meal is a challenge.. now 85 years old.. I wanted my local surgery group to be skilled but they couldn't even figure out what they did wrong.. mayo Minnesota figured it out in a day and gave me a way to cope..

Hi Ken.
Thank you for commenting. What are your symptoms and how did The Mayo Clinic give you ways to cope?
Thank you, Victoria

I'm so sorry! I was diagnosed 6 months ago with gastroparesis and it's not a good way to live. There are 2 meds arrithomycian and reglan. Unfortunately I can't take either due to my heart. Eat small meals, low carb, low sugar. I was 82 pounds I had a feeding tube. Please reach out if you like. God bless you 🙏
