You're so very welcome! Keep doing your research to make sure you're prepared. A lot changes after surgery like needing vitamins, calcium, etc to ensure good health. This wasn't a big deal for me since I already had to take them ever day. Though you will one day be able to eat things you probably couldn't eat before because of Gastroparesis you will have to learn a new way of eating and truly listening to your new tummy....

Hi there, every one reacts to the surgery different from what I can tell. The sleeve was not even an option for me die to the gastroparesis. I also had idiopathic gastroparesis and it was pretty bad. I felt sick pretty much all the time. My GI doctors tried pretty much everything on me except reglan because of the side effects. The meds helped calm things down but still felt sick often. I was reallt nervous abt having surgery but so far I am doing really well. I have experienced some weird things like having the "foamies" after surgery...Pepcid helped with that but I know longer need any of my GP meds at all[emoji4]. Hope this helps....

Ask about a medicine called Linzess. It is very expensive though unless your insurance will pay for it. I had a lot of constipation with my gastroparesis so I was prescribed this before surgery. However, it works wonders!!!!! If you can't get that, you can get Myrilax over the counter. It works pretty good too. I pray you get relief soon!

Please make sure you are getting all your vitamins in since you are still not getting much food in too.... Sent from my SM-N920P using the BariatricPal App

Wow. I'm so sorry to hear that you are still having challenges. Ginger used to help me alot. Ask about Amitryptilin. It helps for nausea and pain. I use to take 25mg each night. Eventually I was reduced to 15mgs. Sent from my SM-N920P using the BariatricPal App

Hey there...just a follow up. I had my surgery on 1/25. So far so good. I went from having gastroparesis symptoms everyday regardless of what I ate to not having any. I have maybe felt a little nauseous 2 of 3 times but no vomiting. My surgeon prescribed me reglan just in case (I had frothing the first week...yuck) but I have not had to use it. I take 1 pepcid at night every other day to ensure the frothing doesn't come back. How have you been since our last chat? Sent from my SM-N920P using the BariatricPal App

Wow...were you on medication for the gastroparesis before having surgery? This makes me a little nervous. Sent from my SM-N920P using the BariatricPal App

How are you doing now? I'm scheduled for surgery at the end of this month. I have been researching trying to find others with gastroparesis and how the surgery affected them. Thanks! Sent from my SM-N920P using the BariatricPal App

Hi, I also have gatroparesis and scheduled for surgery later this month. Please let me know what surgery you had. I don't need this to get worse. Thanks! Sent from my SM-N920P using the BariatricPal App
