Return of Gastroparesis?

[ChronicJam 40]

I'm almost 2 years post-op (Dec'14) and had Gastroparesis before my surgery. Once I recovered, the Gastroparesis was gone - yay! However, the past month or so I've noticed some of the symptoms I had before - the pain, bloating, nausea, Constipation, etc. I have also gained 25 lbs in less than 2 months and have been swollen everywhere.

I saw my surgeon today and he is going to do an upper GI, but he mentioned it could be Gastroparesis rearing its head again. I thought the part of the stomach that causes it was removed?

Has anyone else had Gastroparesis return? If so, how did you treat it - same as before, or another surgery?

I don't have this condition but know it can be very very ugly and intense. My undrstanding is that it has something to do with the nerves that signal n the stomach to empty? If so...I can see why it could return because nerves can regrow .... but I'm quite ignorant on the details of this condition so I can't really say much. Sorry

Oh my goodness! ChronicJam I'm about to cry reading this. I've been struggling for SUCH a long time and every doctor I see says I have to be mindful of my food intake and detect what my intolerance's are.

I was sleeved on 9/11/2015 and have been struggling w/a belly that swells almost ALL the time. It happens after I eat & even when I wake up in the morning. At it's worst I look like I've swallowed a basketball and am pregnant. At it's best I have a feeling of discomfort in my gut and my stomach although still swollen does not seem to be bursting at the seems. When I sit or lay down, there is less pressure but as soon as I stand it's the pits. I have no idea what to do.. go to a GI doctor or allergist?

Thanks in advance for the help
