drgarthdavis Ever heard of gastroparesis? It is a very horrible disease where the stomach stops moving properly. Symptoms include severe and constant nausea, bloating, vomiting. It can be caused by diabetes, post-viral, meds (GLP1), post-surgery, neurological disease, Ehlers-Danlos disease, or unknown cause. Saddest thing is that these patients are often labeled as difficult and abandoned, mainly because there wasn't a good therapy in the past. Now we have excellent therapies. There are new meds that help, but there are some great surgical tools. We can cut the muscle at the end of the stomach to help the stomach empty. What is really exciting is the Enterra device. This is an implantable generator that stimulates vagal nerves in the stomach and can dramatically improve symptoms If you have these symptoms, I'm happy to help.
