What the petition asks
People suffering from Gastroperesis are being denied a simple operation to have a pacemaker fitted in their stomachs to help with gastro emptying & therefore stop the constant nausea & vomiting.
Thank you for your help.
Thank you for your help.
Gastroperesis is an illness where the stomach can't empty due to nerve damage. We all take it for granted that when we eat the food passes through the stomach to the intestinal tract but with Gastroperesis the food just sits fermenting in the stomach& causes extreme nausea & vomiting.
