From 44 consecutive consented patients seen in our clinic, 43 were deemed to be eligible for the study. Those 43 patients were the basis for the baseline evaluation (part one) of this study. Of 43 patients, (description: 15 M, 28 F, mean age 46.3 years; 23 DM, 20 ID), 41 (description: 13 M, 28 F, mean age 45.7 years; 21 DM, 20 ID), finished the temporary phase of gastric electrical stimulation, and 36 (description: 11 M, 25 F, mean age 44.7 years; 18 DM, 18 ID) of those 41 were implanted with permanent GES devices. Of 36 implanted, 30 patients (description: 9 M, 21 F, mean age 43.1 years; 14 DM, 16 ID) were followed at 6 months. The entirety of the GES patients, baseline, temporary and permanent, were the basis for the stimulation portion (part two) of this study.
