Do gastroparesis symptoms slowly creep up on everyone?

You poor dear, having suffered for so long!! I too, have similar issues and have posted/replied to others in similar situations. I suffer from GERD, bit there is no Rx that doesn't make me sicker. I have had bloat 24/7 for 1.5 years, maybe longer now. I did have COVID about 3 years ago and had spinal surgery 1.5 years ago. Been to 6 G.I. docs. So done with them in all respects. Have had every known test and imaging done. Sure, I have slow motility, but my current symptoms are more than that. 1 day is relatively good, when I can eat, the next day is bad when I cannot, and also cannot pursue my exercise regime. I have a relatively high pain threshold, but this is too much for me.
You mentioned an upcoming surgery--can you describe further?
Best of luck to you!!
Beth

Beth,
My gastro doctor recommended that I have a stimulator put in that helps it's called Enterra therapy and can help with nausea and vomiting. I'm willing to try anything, I wanted to get it done this next month but my work office is moving and I'm moving so I'm struggling now with lifting and walking but I will have lifting restrictions and some pain for up to 2 weeks. Once I'm moved then I'm going to try for the end of December. The stimulator will have to be adjusted in the doctors office which this one is an hour away from me but my local gastro dr. will be starting to do the adjustments and visits starting in October.
