Has anyone with gastroparesis also been diagnosed with slow gallbladder?

Yes. Among many other problems. Had my gallbladder removed in one of my surgeries.

Hi thanks for answering, and did your symptoms get better with gastroparesis? Was pancreas bad too?

Thanks for that, they just did endoscopy yesterday and pancreas is abnormal and they said I have to take enzymes every time I eat.

When I had Gall stones 10 years ago the Gall bladder was removed.. then when I had a bad prolonged GERD the local GI thought I needed a Nissen.. that was badly botched and Mayo GI said I had Post operative gastropanesis.. that was 2015.. since every meal is a challenge. Nerves used to empty the stomach were damaged.. But at 87 I am doing pretty well.. it's a fight to keep weight on..

Did gallbladder surgery make pancreas work better

Wow! I am not alone! I have gastroparesis and was just diagnosed a few weeks ago with EPI(my score was 53) that was after many many tests. I have started taking Creon. And I am told they are both life long diagnosis. I am depressed about this because I feel with proper surgery they could have been avoided. I made an appt with a dietitian in a few weeks to help me navigate. Any input would be appreciated. Thank you!
