Anyone diagnosed with Gastroparesis?

I suffered with Gastroparesis for over 3 years. The diet helped a little. Then the physical therapy helped more with taking the mixture for my constipation before bed. But I was still hurting most days.
Then I found a surgeon who did a procedure on me called a Pyloroplasty. I have a different life now. I still watch what I eat but rarely have pain.

Hi again, could you please share more about what you did for physical therapy? Thanks !
Brenda:
i had communicated with you via this site a few weeks ago - soon after you had the pyloroplasty. Can you tell me in what way your symptoms have improved status post the pyloroplasty. i.e. where you throwing up prior and are not now, did you have pain prior and none now - were you limited as to WHEN/how much you could eat and are not now etc. i am considering it. My main symptoms are gas/distension/pain/slight nausea/and i don't eat ANYTHING solid after 2 pm otherwise i cannot lay down to sleep. As it is that is the worst part of it - laying down with "food from the day" in my stomach - gas pain wakes me up throughout the night.. Thanks Denise

Thank you so much for sharing! I’m totally overwhelmed right now with information & emotions. It just seems so hopeless. I thought my RA was a challenge, huh! This takes it to a whole different level 😤😖 Am I reading into it that your quality of life is decent now? And do you still follow “the diet” ?
