Does anyone know if gastroparesis is progressive over time?

I have seen 5 different GI specialists over the years. May I ask who did your surgery? I have often considered this an option, but not one of the many GI specialists I have seen has recommended this. They keep telling me to stay on a GP diet as if I haven't been. UGH.
Hope you recover completely and rapidly!

these GI docs have no empathy - one i went to told me "just drink Ensure" people live on it!! i think you really need to go to a specialty center where someone specializes in gastroparesis. the regular GI docs do not know much about it and have no "advice" to give that is helpful in any way, shape or form. i learned what to eat and what not to eat by trial and error. I have since found lists of what to eat and what not to eat on line - but years ago i had to figure it out by myself.

Dr. Michael Hughes did my surgery at Jewish hospital in Louisville, Ky.
His Medical group is called Vanguard.
He was great!
I will look up his phone # if you want.
