I am taking medication for it now, but it cannot be taken long term because the longer you take it the higher risk there is of serious side effects

I called today and left a message at the doctors office about the gastroparesis. They called back and said that it should be fine and the Dr will talk with me about it during preop appointment which is on March 24th. I am so relieved. I was very worried that my surgery would be cancelled because of this.

@@UnRuLyJuLiE thank you for your response. It helps to know you had the gastroparesis and were still able to have the surgery. I was extremely worried that my surgery would be cancelled because of it. I am on medication right now to control it. Hopefully it gets better.

I just got my surgery date for April 1st last friday. Today I went to the doctor because I have been having stomach problems so they ran some test, and I have gastroparesis. It is delayed emptying of the stomach. Basically my food just likes to sit in my stomach and just hang out instead of going where it needs to go causing me to be sick all the time. Has anyone dealt with this and had gastric bypass surgery or just dealt with it period? I get really nervous that it is going to screw up my surgery and I do not want that to happen. They are doing 1 more test just to make sure I dont have a blockage and if that comes back fine, then I will be making a call to the surgeon to let him know what is going on.
