To Glenda re slow gastric emptying

[Guest guest]

Hi Glenda,

welcome to the group. Not sure who the other member you referred to

is but I also have slow gastric emptying and when I had the myotomy

this past December, I had a pyloroplasty done at the same time to

address both problems. It has been very successful and I have had

no problems since. I do not take any medication other than Zantac

for heartburn which I have not experienced. If you want to know

more please e-mail me.

thanks
