restores patient’s
appetite for life
Eating most foods made Tia Clark nauseous
and sick. She suff ered from gastroparesis,
a condition that causes nausea, vomiting,
abdominal pain, and weight loss. She couldn’t
maintain a healthy weight, and lacked the
energy to work or complete everyday tasks.
Specialists with Allegheny Health Network’s
(AHN) Esophageal and Lung Institute
implanted a gastric pacemaker on her stomach
wall. It helped relieve her symptoms, so Tia can
live a more normal daily life.
