Gastroparesis: Fighting for Change will be conducting an interview to discuss the G-POEM (Gastric Peroral Endoscopic Myotomy) with Dr. Alexander Schlachterman from Jefferson University of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. We invite you to ask questions about this procedure in advance of our discussion. We will include as many of your questions during our interview as we can, but if your question does not get answered during the interview, we will do our best to follow-up on the topics raised.

Please check this page frequently for the video interview (to be posted upon completion of the interview) and follow-up information.

You can read more about the G-POEM in this article: Gastroenterology & Hepatology December 2019 – Volume 15, Issue 12

I hope I don’t throw up or pass out from too low of blood sugar

Missy Greer

I have been fighting Gastroparesis for over 12 years. You wake up hoping you will have a good day be able to eat . Hoping I have energy. I try to eat then I have major blood sugar problem being 35! And trying not to throw up . Or hoping I will stop going to the bathroom 10 to 15 times . This is everyday
I can not work because there is no way
I can just lay down everyday and hope I don’t throw up or pass out from too low of blood sugar and can’t stay out of the bathroom when I should be working
