Does Gastroparesis progress from moderate to severe?

This is all very interesting. I think my mom may have this. Most of the time after she eats, she regrets it. She’s seen gastroenterologist before, but I don’t think she got this diagnosis.
I had a friend who was diagnosed with it and she had type 1 diabetes. After not seeing her for several years, I contacted her and she said she was doing great. She had surgery and had recovered. I wonder how that works.

I have never heard of a surgery for gastroparesis, and I am still seeing a gastroenterologist every year just to learn if there is anything new. I'm wondering if the surgery she had was something pertaining to her diabetes??
At one time my PA sent me to University of Michigan to see if anything else was offered there. I saw that doctor once and never went back because I don't want to take part in an experiment. They wanted to put shots of Botox in my stomach, which I can see how that could definitely stop the spasms in the stomach when I ate something my stomach didn't like getting, BUT, my question of how would that help my stomach to digest the food I'm eating if the stomach muscles are numb, went unanswered. I did not stop at the desk to set up any future appointments on my way out the door. I have a slew of sensitivities and allergies to medications and when I asked if there was a way of testing to see if I had either to Botox, he simply told me I wouldn't have.
