I was diagnosed with very severe Gastroparesis about 2 years ago. I have been meeting with doctors and haven’t had much luck. I’ve gone through all the medications and none helped them we didthe partial gastrectomy.

Symptoms: bloating, regurgitation, throwing up food hour after eating. Constant nausea and extreme pain

Hi,

Partial gastrectomy for gastroparesis is a relatively newer treatment for gastroparesis.
So I would like to know what type of partial gastrectomy was done.

Hi,
Thanks for uploading the documents.
I went through the documents
The contrast study done on October 9th shows that the contrast is emptying faster which means you no longer have gastroparesis ( slow emptying of stomach).
