So sorry for you. I have a friend with gastroparesis and I know it makes her life miserable as it relates to food. She frequently vomits after eating.
As to surgical clips left in after gall bladder surgery, to my knowledge that is standard procedure - at least after laparoscopic removal...I have had my gall bladder removed 10 years ago now. Fortunately no complications. As a nurse, I have cared for patients with ruptured gallbladders which caused them to become VERY ill and in ICU with peritonitis or even septic shock. Sometimes you just need to get the gallbladder out. :<(
