Did you have GP to help treat your gastroparesis?

RNY scheduled for 8/9. Dr hoping it will reduce my pain, nausea, and improve motility. Wondering if anyone else out there had gastroparesis before their surgery and what their experience was like.

I had gastroparesis also. I had gastric bypass 2/16/17. Am I am doing great. I've lost 90 lbs so far. Please feel free to message me if you have any questions.

Thanks! How has your gastroparesis been since the surgery? I'm really hoping for a big reduction in pain and nausea, as well as better motility.

It has been much better. My nausea and pain are gone. Unless I eat to much or to fast. I also have IBS and this has helped with that also.

It might be too early but have you noticed any relief from the GP symptoms?

I'm not quite to a full diet yet so I'll know better on my trigger foods in September perhaps. I have noticed a difference in bowel movements though! I was deathly afraid to be off of one of my medications because life was awful without it. I would be going to the bathroom sometimes up to 17 times a day. Even without that medication now, my BM's are more stabilized for the most part. I still have random bouts but I think that's my intestines still getting used to everything.
