Gastroparesis

[Jttsj 1]

I am scheduled for surgery 11/28, but dr called and want swallow study because i showed slow emptying for egd. Can this prevent surgery?

Are you diabetic? That is a common problem when diabetic. Just make sure that your stomach has extra days to empty before 11/28. You can do this!

Yes, I am. I start a liquid diet 2 weeks before surgery.

I had partial gastrectomy with RNY September 8 for diabetic gastroparesis. Was only on liquids 24 hrs before and then of course nothing from midnight on. LOL. I remember nothing. I woke up at midnight after surgery, went for a walk and drank some Water. I took a total of two pain pills both days in hospital and regular Tylenol after that. Since surgery, I've had good days and some not so good days. I stick to mostly liquids and still take zofran for nausea a couple times a week. Overall, I'm doing better than before surgery. Best of luck
