Hi,
I believe I have posted on this thread before. My 18 year old daughter had the pacemaker put in in April...I have to tell you that it was the BEST decision that we made for her Gastroparesis. She is thriving, eating what ever she wants and has gained weight. No Nausea or vomiting. Yes, I will tell you that the recovery process was hard...But the outcome has been so unbelievable. She has her life back. Yes the RSD caused her pain from the surgery but she would do it all over again tomorrow. If you have a facebook you can go to a page for gastroparesis and there are several people there with the pacemaker. Don't say no to it. Do your research it has worked for so many people. There are many that do the pacemaker laprascopic. If you need more information I can send you some.
Sandy

She said their patients that have had surgeries are always in & out hospital w/ ongoing complications. Just scares me!!! Glad it has worked for some though!!
