It's Gastroparesis Awareness Month

Hi! I have gastroparesis and I'm an insufferable know-it-all so let's talk about it!

Gastroparesis, or a paralyzed stomach, is a condition that causes delayed gastric emptying.

This can cause a range of symptoms and complications:

nausea

vomiting

early satiety/fullness

upper gastric pain

heartburn

malabsorption

dehydration

malnutrition

Gastroparesis can be treated by a gastroenterologist, but often needs to be managed by a motility specialist due to a lot of misconceptions about the condition. Providers, especially in the emergency department, will commonly misdiagnose gastroparesis as cannabis-hyperemesis syndome, cyclic vomiting syndrome, gastritis, food poisoning, etc.

There are several commonly known causes of gastroparesis like vagus nerve damage from diabetes, injury to the stomach, and stomach surgery like hernia repair or bariatric surgery. There are also idiopathic cases with no known cause. Other causes of gastroparesis are:

Connective tissue disorders like HSD and EDS (commonly hEDS and cEDS)

Post-viral (like COVID, viral gastritis, mononucleosis/Epstein-Barr)

Restrictive eating disorders

Autoimmune diseases like Systemic sclerosis (scleroderma), Lupus, Hashimoto's

Central nervous system disorders

Gastroparesis also has common comorbidities with conditions like:

POTS and other forms of dysautonomia (POTS, EDS, and gastroparesis are a common triad of diagnoses)

MCAS

SMAS (which can also present with similar symptoms to GP)

Intestinal dysmotility and esophageal dysmotility disorders (known as global dysmotility)

PCOS with insulin resistance

Endometriosis

SIBO/SIFO

Chronic intestinal pseudo-obstruction

Migraines

Certain medications like Ozempic and other drugs in that class act on the digestive system to delay gastric emptying, which has caused people to be diagnosed with gastroparesis. Some people report that their cases have not gone away since stopping the medication, others report feeling better after stopping. Other drugs like opiates and narcotics can cause delayed gastric and intestinal motility as well, but these are commonly known side effects of those painkiller classes.

Gastroparesis is classed based on severity and graded based on how you respond to treatment.

Severity of delay ranges from mild to very severe, and this is based on your actual stomach retention calculated at 4 hours into a gastric emptying study.

The grading scale ranges from one to three, one being mild and three being gastric failure.

There is no consistent single treatment that is proven to work for gastroparesis, and there is no cure. Treatments can consist of:

Diet changes (3 Step Gastroparesis Diet, liquid diet, oral sole source nutrition)

Prokinetic (motility stimulating) drugs

Anti-nausea medications

Proton-pump inhibitors

Gastric stimulator/gastric pacemaker

Pyloric botox and dilation

G-POEM/pyloroplasty

Post-pyloric tube feeding

Gastric venting/draining

Parenteral nutrition

IV fluids

Other surgical interventions like gastrectomy or rarely, transplant

Gastroparesis is a terrible disease and I hope that if any of these symptoms resonate with you that you can get checked out. I was misdiagnosed for a long time before getting a proper gastroparesis diagnosis, and all it took was a gastric emptying study. This is ESPECIALLY true if you're having post-COVID gastrointestinal problems that are not improving. I almost died from starvation ketoacidosis because of how serious my GP got in a short period of time post-COVID (I had GP before COVID), and now I'm tube reliant for all my nutrition and hydration.

Stay safe friends!

[adventremnant]

is fasting (of any kind) any more effective at WL than just restricting?

(btw i love ur blog!! i love how you post harm reduction and help people have realistic goals w their €d so people can remain somewhat safe)

I think restricting is more effective because you're able to keep yourself healthier and, while the loss may take longer, keeps you saner.

It also depends on the kind of fast, though. If you're doing a more medical style fast (google the types of diets they put bariatric patients on after they get surgery) you could reasonably do that longer term while taking your vitamins and still be alright.

[mariacallous]

The booming popularity of Ozempic and other GLP-1 drugs for weight loss has led to a flurry of companies vying to make new and improved anti-obesity medications.

One of those is Boston-based Syntis Bio, which is working on a daily pill that mimics the effects of gastric bypass—no actual surgery required. Today, the company announced early data from animals and a small group of human volunteers showing that its approach is safe and may be able to suppress hunger. The company presented the findings Thursday at the European Congress on Obesity and Weight Management.

“We're at a stage with obesity treatment where it's important for us to figure out, how do we now tune it to be more effective?” says Rahul Dhanda, Syntis Bio’s CEO and cofounder.

A poll conducted in April and May of 2024 found that around 12 percent of Americans have tried a GLP-1 drug such as Ozempic, Wegovy, Zepbound, or Mounjaro—a number that has likely only grown over the past year. But many people eventually stop using these drugs. Cost and insurance coverage is one factor. Another is that GLP-1s can cause nausea, vomiting, and other unpleasant side effects. And some patients would prefer a pill over a weekly injection.

Syntis is aiming to develop another option for people looking to lose weight. The company’s drug is designed to redirect the absorption of nutrients from the beginning of the small intestine to its end. The effect is similar to gastric bypass, in which surgeons make the stomach smaller and shorten the small intestine. As a result, food bypasses much of the small intestine. The procedure changes how the body absorbs food, and leaves people feeling fuller from eating less.

Gastric bypass is a type of bariatric surgery, which an estimated 280,000 people received in 2022. But fewer people are turning to surgery with the advent of new anti-obesity medications. A study published last year in JAMA Open Network found that as prescriptions for GLP-1s skyrocketed between 2022 and 2023, rates of bariatric surgery dropped 25.6 percent.

The drug Syntis is working on does not actually shorten the intestine, like gastric bypass does. Instead, it creates a temporary coating in the upper part of the small intestine, blocking the absorption of nutrients there. This moves nutrients down to the lower part of the small intestine, where satiety hormones—including GLP-1—are triggered.

It does this with two main ingredients: dopamine, a small molecule best known for its relation to the brain, and a tiny amount of hydrogen peroxide. When this combination reaches the small intestine, it comes into contact with a naturally occurring enzyme called catalase. The job of catalase is to break down hydrogen peroxide, which is harmful to the body in high amounts, into water and oxygen. The process converts the dopamine into polydopamine, a biocompatible polymer. Within minutes, a thin film of polydopamine forms that coats the lining of the small intestine. The cells in this lining turn over quickly, so the coating is only temporary. It’s designed to last around 24 hours.

The drug is based on research conducted at MIT by Giovanni Traverso, a gastroenterologist and mechanical engineer, and Robert Langer, a chemical engineer who has launched more than two dozen biotech companies.

The two discovered the mechanism when working on a way to develop liquid drug formulations that could be given to children. They soon realized they could make this temporary synthetic coating more or less permeable, to either enhance absorption or slow it down. That latter ability was appealing as a treatment for obesity.

“This material is something you would take as a capsule or liquid, but the next day it's gone because of the natural turnover of our mucosal surface in the GI tract,” Traverso says. He and Langer cofounded Syntis with Dhanda in 2022. He likens this coating to what mussels and other shellfish use to stick to rocks or the ocean floor.

In the results Syntis announced, the drug was delivered in a liquid form via a tube directly to the small intestine so that researchers could check that the polymer coating formed as expected. A tablet form has already been tested in pigs and dogs, and it’s what Syntis plans to test in future human studies.

In rats, the drug produced a consistent 1 percent weekly weight loss over a six-week study period while preserving 100 percent of lean muscle mass.

In a first-in-human pilot study of nine participants, the drug was safe with no adverse effects. Tissue samples taken from the intestine were used to confirm that the coating formed and was also cleared from the body within 24 hours. The study wasn’t designed to assess weight loss, but blood testing showed that after the drug was given, glucose levels and the “hunger hormone” ghrelin were lower while the levels of leptin, an appetite-regulating hormone, were higher.

“When nutrients are redirected to later in the intestine, you're activating pathways that lead towards satiety, energy expenditure, and overall healthy, sustainable weight loss,” Dhanda says.

Syntis Bio’s findings in animals also hint at the drug’s potential for weight loss without compromising muscle mass, one of the concerns with current GLP-1 drugs. While weight loss in general is associated with numerous health benefits, there’s growing evidence that the kind of drastic weight loss that GLP-1s induce can also lead to a loss of lean muscle mass.

Louis Aronne, an obesity medicine specialist and professor of metabolic research at Weill-Cornell Medical College, says that while GLP-1s are wildly popular, they may not be right for everyone. He predicts that in the not-so-distant future there will be many drugs for obesity and treatment will be more personalized. “I think Syntis’ compound fits in perfectly as a treatment that could be used early on. It’s a kind of thing you could use as a first-line medication,” he says. Arrone serves as a clinical adviser to the company.

Vladimir Kushnir, professor of medicine and director of bariatric endoscopy at Washington University in St. Louis, who isn’t involved with Syntis, says the early pilot data is encouraging, but it’s hard to draw any conclusions from such a small study. He expects that the drug will make people feel fuller but could also have some of the same side effects as gastric bypass surgery. “My anticipation is that this is going to have some digestive side effects like bloating and abdominal cramping, as well as potentially some diarrhea and nausea once it gets into a bigger study,” he says.

It’s early days for this novel technique, but if it proves effective, it could one day be an alternative or add-on drug to GLP-1 medications.

Medical talk after seeing the surgeon yesterday

Genuinely love how they'll enthusiastically recommend bariatric surgery to me because I'm just too faaaaaat for major surgery as if:

a) bariatric surgery isn't one of the MOST invasive, destructive forms of surgery that has the highest rates of failure, need for corrective therapy and surgery, and patient regret as well as incredibly high rates of short and long-term complications

b) bariatric surgery is still... major surgery. You want me to have a higher risk form of surgery to make sure i'm safe for a lower risk form of surgery?

c) because I'm just moderately miserable with nausea and pain and fevers and not actively dying, it's fine to leave in because they don't want to rush into anything. As if my quality of life means jack shit

Anyway I had really bad fever all night and I'm nauseous and weepy today but too bad I'm fat so I just have to feel sorry for myself until I magically lose weight

[bil-daddy]

Hi Bildad. I know this isn't at all what your Tumblr is for, but I don't have anyone IRL to talk to about this, and my husband reads AITA. If you want to just leave this in your inbox unanswered, that is ok.

Today during an argument, my husband told me that he has not been attracted to me since we got married (20 years ago!) Around that time I started on antidepressants and they caused me to gain some weight and then I gained some more weight. Currently I am 5'6" and 190lbs.

He has hinted at this a couple times over the course of our marriage and frequently turns me down for sex (one time we went a whole year without any sexual activity). He said that he has never been completely honest about this before because it would hurt my "fragile ego" and send me into an "emotional spiral".

When we were first married, he was in good shape, but about ten years ago, he started putting on weight, too. He is currently 6'0" and 260lbs. He says that he knows that it's not fair, but he's just being honest about how he feels.

Currently I'm considering getting bariatric surgery, vs trying to do my best to diet and exercise while working full time and raising three kids with him, vs calling it quits and trying to find someone who likes my body the way it is. I have a fairly high sex drive and I'm feeling very frustrated.

Again, sorry for venting here. Not something I'd be willing to admit to family or friends but just needed to get it off my chest and this seems like a safe space.

Hi, anon. Sorry you're going through this.

Now, to paraphrase AITA (and r/relationship_advice, and r/relationships) You don't have a weight problem. You have a husband problem.

It shouldn't take a midwife to know that bodies change after giving birth and it seems you've done that three times. And that's not even getting into the normal weight gain that comes with aging. Nobody looks the same as they looked 20 years ago (well, unless you're an immortal being--which I am definitely not by the way, 100% totally human shoemaker obstetrician right here)

Your husband knows this. He's aged and gained weight, too. And not to get all Freudian, but I'm betting his criticisms of you are actually projection of how he feels about himself. (Especially the "fragile ego" and "emotional spiral" part. Such classic projection it might as well be an old silent film.)

He probably didn't mean what he said about not being attracted to you for your entire twenty-year marriage, if you two were arguing when he said it. It was just something he knew he could say to hurt you in the moment.

That's not an excuse, by the way. Every relationship is gonna have fights (don't ask me how I know), but you shouldn't be fighting dirty against the person you love. Fuck nasty, sure. But not fight dirty.

Speaking of which, sex drives often wax and wane over the course of lifetimes, and relationships, and a group of two's respective shifts don't always line up. Still, if there's an ongoing mismatch then the couple should do their best to figure out a compromise that works for both of them.

Is your husband doing this?

Is he doing half the childcare so you have the free time to exercise?And relax, too, because you won't have the energy to exercise if you're too tired from work and childcare.

Is he doing half the grocery shopping, meal planning, and cooking so your whole family can eat a healthy diet?

Is he trying to get back into shape and lose weight himself?

And finally, the hard (pun intended) one--is he cutting back on "pornography!" (to quote Sandalphon) so he can direct the majority of his sexual energy towards you? Has he checked with a doctor about his testosterone levels? Blood flow?

You don't have to tell me, but the answers to these questions might tell you whether your husband is putting enough effort into your marriage to make it worth saving, versus calling it quits and finding someone who will appreciate your body the way it is--and there are many people who will (just ask @mrazfellco about my obsession with his belly and thick thighs)

But the most important person who needs to appreciate your body the way it is isn't your husband or a hypothetical post-divorce boyfriend. The most important person who needs to appreciate your body is you.

And so you need to do whatever it is that will make you feel good about yourself. That might be diet and exercise. That might be bariatric surgery. That might just be losing 260 pounds of husband.

But whatever it is, it needs to be for you.

Hope this helps.

Good luck to you, and have an ox rib (platonic)

Unlocking a Brighter Future: Weight Loss Surgery in Mexico — Costs and Benefits

Are you ready to transform your life? Achieving effective and lasting weight loss demands significant lifestyle changes, including sacrifice, determination, and unwavering resolve. But can you truly reverse the effects of obesity and break free from the patterns that have contributed to this condition? The answer is a resounding "yes," as countless individuals who have undergone weight loss surgery in Mexico can attest.

Exploring the Cost of Weight Loss Surgery in Mexico If you're contemplating surgery as a means to shed those excess pounds, chances are you've already explored various weight loss methods with limited success. Perhaps you're grappling with the detrimental effects of obesity that have taken a toll on your life, prompting you to take decisive action. Whatever your driving force may be, we commend your unwavering determination and courage.

Every significant decision in life inevitably affects multiple facets of our existence, and the financial aspect is no exception. Let's delve into the cost of bariatric surgery. This cost varies depending on your location. For instance, in the United States, weight loss surgery can set you back around $28,000, while in Malaysia, it might cost $11,500. On the other hand, the average cost in Mexico is a more budget-friendly $8,500.

Weight Loss Surgery in Mexico – Unveiling the Advantages Some may perceive weight loss surgery in Mexico as an option only available to a privileged segment of society. However, this couldn't be farther from the truth. Today, bariatric surgeries are becoming increasingly accessible to individuals from all walks of life. Did you know that living with obesity can lead to greater expenses than you might imagine?

Consider the remarkable advantages of undergoing weight loss surgery:

Savings on Medical Expenses: Obesity often leads to conditions like sleep apnea, joint pain, diabetes, hypertension, and high cholesterol, among others. Treating complicated diabetes, for instance, can be up to twenty-one times more costly than adopting healthier habits. Success stories from these surgeries demonstrate that many individuals can improve, manage, or even reverse these effects, resulting in significant savings in medical expenses.

Enhanced Employment Prospects: Surprisingly, absenteeism from work due to health issues costs thousands of dollars annually. On average, obese individuals miss approximately 7.6 more days of work than their normal-weight counterparts. Furthermore, statistics indicate that both obese men and women tend to earn less, limiting their professional growth opportunities and earning potential.

Reduced Personal Expenses: Beyond medical costs, there are savings in personal expenses such as specialized equipment like walkers, beds, chairs, and clothing. Shopping can be less burdensome as larger sizes are not only harder to find but also more expensive. Additionally, for every hundred pounds, fuel consumption can increase by 2% for vehicle users.

All-Inclusive Packages: A Remarkable Option for Peace of Mind You may wonder why the cost of this surgery varies so significantly across different countries. Medical expenses are influenced by factors such as the type of surgery, health insurance coverage, the healthcare system, and the local cost of living. This has prompted some to explore new healthcare options, including medical tourism, where individuals travel to countries offering top-notch medical services at more affordable rates.

For example, by traveling from the United States or Canada to Mexico, you can save up to 80% on expenses, thanks to favorable currency exchange rates. The stronger US dollar allows you to access premium healthcare services without breaking the bank. This cost advantage extends beyond bariatric surgeries to various medical treatments, including orthopedic surgeries, general surgery, dental procedures, and even cosmetic surgeries like liposuction in Mexico.

In Mexico, you can find medical tourism agencies offering all-inclusive packages. Say goodbye to worries about the cost of a gastric sleeve in Mexico or other bariatric surgeries. These packages cover accommodation, fees, preoperative assessments, consultations, hospitalization, and all essential expenses associated with your surgery. In essence, once you embark on your medical tourism journey to Mexico, your agency takes care of every detail, providing you with upfront pricing and eliminating any surprise fees.

Weight Loss Surgery in Mexico: A Stepping Stone to a Better Quality of Life They say that profound life changes often come with a jolt, signaling the start of a new chapter rather than the end of the world. This sentiment holds true for weight loss. While the journey involves significant changes in daily routines, physical appearance, and mindset, the outcome is a more fulfilled, healthier, and self-assured individual.

At Health & Wellness Bazaar, we are committed to making this transformation a guided experience, equipping you with the tools necessary to achieve your weight loss goals. If you're considering a bariatric surgeon, we invite you to complete the following form. Secure a free consultation, resolve all your inquiries, and discover your optimal path to weight loss surgery in Mexico.

I’ve spent over a decade learning the science we know (and don’t) about weight loss. I’ve also spent so much time in treatment for my disordered eating, therapy for CPTSD, and learning to see and unlearn internalized fatphobia. I’ve spent time in community with other fat people learning how to take care of a very fat body and how to find joy in it despite marginalization and oppression at large. Explaining why I still am taking this medication and hoping for weight loss is so tender: there is such a desperate panic to realize you may not fit into a car you bought, despite a lot of research and test drives to find a car that safely fits your body. Or of a partner who loves you but can’t move beyond their internalized fatphobia. Or of a peer who died after surgery to cut off a big belly — like I fantasized about doing for years. The panic of not being able to wipe well in a hospital’s tiny PICU bathroom, not designed for fat bodies, trying to take care of yourself enough so you can take care of your kid who nearly died. The terrible fear and anger of being denied medical care, over and over, by doctors who think we deserve it. None of this shit is my fault, but they’re all very fucking serious in how it impacts your life and well-being. Knowing all I’ve learned and unlearned, loving myself, and connecting with people who feel similarly doesn’t protect me from how other people can ensure my marginalization, isolation, and death. Hoping for weight loss is hoping to live longer simply by people being fractionally more willing to give me medical care. Hoping for weight loss is hoping for more safety in car rides. Hoping for weight loss is hoping for enough ease to make the hard times in life bearable. I think part of why I feel so disconnected from the fat community these days is because it doesn’t feel safe to talk about these feelings out loud. For most of my life, I was the type of person who makes it unsafe. I brought so much trauma to the table that there wasn’t room for anything else. I’ve felt so wounded by fat celebrities who choose bariatric surgery and by smaller-bodied influencers that get to be beloved and uplifted despite leaving behind fatter fans in their collabs and collections. I haven’t been able to connect with so many others over the years due to the ways trauma isolated me through my own fear and panic.

Please please read this beautiful, clarifying, candid essay about the many internally conflicting feelings of starting Ozempic as a superfat person and fat liberationist, written by my friend @photopotamus.

Essential Features to Look for in a Rolling Walker with a Seat

A rolling walker with a seat can be a life-changing mobility aid for seniors, individuals recovering from surgery, or anyone needing extra support while walking. But with so many options on the market, choosing the right one can feel overwhelming. To make an informed decision, it’s important to understand the essential features that contribute to comfort, safety, and ease of use.

1. Sturdy Frame and Weight Capacity The frame is the foundation of any rolling walker. Look for a model made from durable materials like aluminum or steel. A lightweight aluminum frame offers easy maneuverability, while steel provides additional strength. Always check the weight capacity to ensure it safely supports the user—most standard walkers hold 250 to 300 pounds, while bariatric models may support more.

2. Comfortable, Padded Seat A key advantage of a rolling walker is the built-in seat, offering a resting spot during longer walks. Choose a model with a padded seat for added comfort, especially for users who may need to sit frequently. Some seats even come with backrests, which provide additional support.

3. Adjustable Height Handles To ensure proper posture and avoid strain, the walker’s handles should be height-adjustable. Ideally, the user's elbows should bend at about 15 degrees when their hands are on the grips. This feature is especially helpful for households with multiple users of varying heights. If you're looking for the right rolling walker seat, you can explore this site.

4. Easy-to-Use Braking System Safety is paramount. Most rolling walkers include hand brakes, either loop-lock or push-down style. Test the braking system to ensure it engages smoothly and locks securely when parked. A reliable brake prevents the walker from rolling unintentionally while the user is seated.

5. Foldable Design for Storage and Transport If portability matters, look for a walker that folds easily. This makes it convenient to store at home or fit in a car trunk when traveling. Some models fold up compactly with one hand, a useful feature for those with limited strength or dexterity.

6. Storage Options Many walkers come with a basket, pouch, or under-seat compartment for carrying personal items, groceries, or medical supplies. This adds convenience and allows the user to move about hands-free.

Conclusion Investing in a rolling walker with a seat can greatly enhance mobility and independence. By focusing on these essential features—durability, comfort, adjustability, safety, portability, and storage—you can find a walker that perfectly fits your lifestyle and needs.
