Recently diagnosed with Gastroparesis
Hello I’ve recently been diagnosed with Gastroparesis and have a question please. I read about a lot of you with g-tubes and implants. Can I ask how long did it take you to get to that point? I’m very scared to think this happens to most at some point.

I have gastroparisis and after multiple tests the Dr put me on a powder mix , Colesteramine, twice daily. No matter what I eat I have diarrhea 20 to 30 minutes later. I have lost 22 lbs in 6 months and weigh 100 lbs. I am scared that I will keep loosing weight and end up in a hospital. I feel fine otherwise. My normal weight was 125 . I can't eat a large amount of food as I had bariatric surgery 7yrs ago and it was successful. I need help to gain weight.
@jojo442 - welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I'm sorry to hear about the diarrhea and weight loss.
Did the gastroenterologist who diagnosed you or your bariatric surgeon have any tips for you to get your weight back to where you prefer it?
