Has anyone with gastroparesis also been diagnosed with slow gallbladder?

Hi! I hope all is well! At 16 I started with tons of pain and GI issues. I later got diagnosed with Gastroparesis, IBS, Lazy Gallbladder. I am in tons of pain daily, vomit daily, nausea all the time, loose stools, diarrhea and constipation. I have tried everything the doctors are saying but nothing works. I am not with MAYO for gastrology. Should I try them? I do love my doctor though.They are also recomending gallbladder surgery for the lazy gallbladder. Thoughts? My hide scan was 32%.What help with any of these issues? Medication? Procedures?

Prayers for you!! I had my gallbladder out several years ago...I live very rural..very.. and a good medical faciltiy is hard to find (our ambulance came and they couldn't even administer zofran.. just had a "barf bag"..;. so the next time when my blood pressure dropped to 60/40 due to colitis.. I requested the ambulance with all "the stuff"..) So I've had issues all my life with constipation.. but in Dec 2019 the journey began.. 14 trips to ER in 1 year ..only 4 so far this year.. I'm a 70 year old widow.. and have had so many "near death" experiences.. my doctor is "blown away".. all the misdiagnoses.. pancreatic elastase..left perifacial effusion.. and every time I ask ..retest.. negative!!!.. scleroderma makers keep going up and the rheumatologist says "you don't have it".. he's a tongue talking filled with the Spirit Chrisitian ..and so am I.. I say.. (I don't know your religious preferences.. but by HIS stripes we are healed!! Isaiah53:5 ) and.. I drink 2 Vanilla Plant Based Ensures a day.. (can't take vitamins..some ingredients aren't tolerated well) ..my Vitamin D level is normal again.. my AST and ALT are normal again.. and I kept my tooth (I got down to 98 pounds and had scurvy..now up to 144) This week got diagnosed with tortuous colon...giving it to GOD!! Prayers for you for complete healing!! NO matter who the doctor is.. Jesus is the healer!! Standing with you !!!!

Has anyone had a gastric pump put in for gastroparesis? My nephew is being considered for this as his symptoms and pain are so severe. I am interested if anyone has had any experience with this or family members. Thank you!
