“…The present results are at variance with some previous reports. With the caloric drinking satiety test, an improvement in satiety score and an increased liquid test meal volume during GES occurred independently of any effect in gastric emptying [18]. However, only nine patients were studied and no full paper has been published from that study so far.…”
GES had no effect on proximal gastric function as evaluated by the slow caloric satiety drinking test. This seems to be the case for patients with approved as well as nonapproved indications for GES, and irrespective of the symptomatic response.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
