My Experience with Gastric Electrical Stimulation / Enterra Therapy / Gastric Pacemaker

Are you still on any nausea meds also?

Hi Crystal, thanks for making this video - so helpful. I think my GP is classed as mild and I doubt that this device would be an option for me. Over here in England they don't like to help you until you're on death's door! But the constant nausea is really a killer. Did your doctor suggest this device for you, was GP mild or severe? I may suggest it to my G.I.

@jcp1821 Yes, they figured out the problem and the device/leads were replaced. This one works great.  I shared the details on my blog:

@djc2k4 -- Dr. Henry Parkman at Temple University Hospital in PA is a leading motility specialist with an Enterra program. Dr. Brian Lacy at Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center in NH also works with the Enterra device and is extremely knowledgeable, however I think he is only recommends diabetics for the procedure at this point.
