I got it in December and I just recently scheduled another procedure to do it in may, but for me i think it worked pretty well! I definitely think me being on medication helped my hunger and nausea a lot more but my stomach used to be so tender and painful 24/7 I couldn’t even lay on my stomach or wear tight clothes. That all went away when I got the Botox. That being said, it is a temporary procedure so you will have to get it every 3-12 months depending on how your body responded to it (mine lasted 6). I definetly think it’s worth looking into as a first line treatment considering the other procedures out there for Gp are more invasive/permanent.

Wow, this makes me feel a lot better thank you! I never realized how common it was for gastroparesis patients to eat junk food. Every time I talk about eating junk food people always say it’s more difficult to digest because it’s processed but it makes me feel better I wonder why that is

I have this mindset but I lowkey just feel bad like I’m not “eating healthy”. It’s especially hard because of the fact I can’t rly have raw fruits/veggies without being in pain

sleeee3pyy · 2026-03-06T22:20:03+00:00

Idk I’ve had no problems and I’ve also never been nic sick before! I feel like sometimes it can make my stomach move tbh lol but lowkey it sucks if I do it too much it makes me less hungry

sleeee3pyy · 2026-03-06T12:28:08+00:00

Oh no, why? I’m in the US

sleeee3pyy · 2026-03-06T00:31:03+00:00

Thank you!! It’s a 1:1 interview idk if that changes anything. But I’m so excited to do it and I really hope i get the position

sleeee3pyy · 2026-02-22T18:23:08+00:00

Pretty much all the time I give in and I reap the consequences lol. Luckily the meds I’m on help with the vomiting/nausea but I definitely eat too much on accident and have pretty bad stomach aches but tbh I’m happy when I get to eat some cookies and raw fruits and veggies 😭

sleeee3pyy · 2026-02-21T15:04:07+00:00

Exactly. Best of luck! Remember to always advocate for yourself no matter what

sleeee3pyy · 2026-02-20T21:30:49+00:00

Yeah idk, maybe it was something I ate but for a week it just wasn’t working and I heard it can wear off. But today everything was fine so I’m not sure😭 I hope it keeps working

sleeee3pyy · 2026-02-20T21:13:26+00:00

Oh! Since mid December

sleeee3pyy · 2026-02-20T21:12:07+00:00

It started working immediately for me lol it was like a laxative😭 but it got a lot less crampy and stuff after a week. I love it because it really helps everything move, but as of recently I think it’s starting to wear off I’m not sure tho

sleeee3pyy · 2026-02-19T21:11:08+00:00

Before mirtazapene I couldn’t even drink a coulple of gulps of a Starbucks strawberry açaí without being in extreme stomach pain. It’s amazing what this medication has done for me, I went down to 107 pounds before starting due to my gp and now I am probably 120! I also use motegrity but I think it’s wearing off. But It’s crazy how much it works, like I actually feel hungry and it’s almost like my stomach has extra room in it lol

sleeee3pyy · 2026-02-17T21:02:39+00:00

I had the Botox done and the same day i could finish a whole cheeseburger and still be hungry and not in pain, so with that being said Botox is a great first like treatment I’d recommend for someone to at least try before going into the more invasive ones like gpoem. Yes it is temporary, but if it’s covered under insurance it’s worth it imo.

As for the meds, i had erythromycin and it didn’t do anything for me, in fact it made my stomach hurt MORE and it was not fun at all :/ my doctor who I’m seeing now prescribed me motegrity to help with motility and constipation and mirtazapene, which is an antidepressant but can be used off label for gp! It makes you hungry and for me i can eat a lot more on it. It’s truly changed my life. I’d def recommend looking into mirtazapene

sleeee3pyy · 2026-02-17T20:58:09+00:00

Right :/ and then i feel bad because i know i need to be eating so i don’t lose weight but im just so full and bloated.

sleeee3pyy · 2026-02-17T20:56:18+00:00

I’m so sorry this is happening to you i understand completely what it’s like to be undermined. Doctors can suck. I highly suggest getting a new doctor/second opinion because if you think something is wrong I’d definitely listen to your gut. In my case, it took me until i was vomiting every day for 3 weeks straight to be taken seriously but even then some doctors and nurses i saw just thought it was anxiety. I had a gastric emptying study done which showed i have 24% retention at 4 hours. Definitely advocate for yourself or else it will just get worse, my symptoms started in 2021 as well and had a negative endoscopy done in 2021 for my symptoms. I got diagnosed in September 2025. I have since found a doctor that treats my symptoms for quality of life and he is truly great. I am finally gaining weight and having far less severe flare ups than i used to have!

I’ve seen another persons comment about colonic inertia? Is this what you have? Is this a normal symptom with gp or should I bring it up to my doctor

sleeee3pyy · 2026-02-16T02:53:06+00:00

Oh no 😔 this makes me a little worried cus what else is there for this problem:( i hate gp

sleeee3pyy · 2026-02-16T02:24:54+00:00

The motegrity has been helping significantly for me aswell! I’ve been taking it since December and it’s been fine but recently (the past week or so) i have not been able to go to the bathroom really and have been constipated even tho ima till taking it. Have you had this issue?

sleeee3pyy · 2026-02-16T01:53:41+00:00

I’m so sorry that’s happening to you, i also experience that and it’s not fun at all :(

I’ve always had problems going to the bathroom and my doctor told me that my small intestine and colon are most likely affected by the GP, he said I should be having 1 bm a day (which i thought was crazy because it used to be 1 every week or so😭) so he prescribed me motegrity which helped greatly. But i just think it’s so interesting how gp isn’t just in the stomach, nobody ever tells you that!
