Has anyone had gastroparesis when they had the sleeve done? If so has it made it better or worse or the same? What about your weight lost did it stop alright? Did it cause more problems with what food you could eat? I'm suppose to have the sleeve done next month. i started the process in January. I was dignosed in May with GP I have lost 37 lbs of the 100 lbs I needed to lose. But I was so sick and in so much pain I was put on liquid diet in last of May. I drink three protein shakes a day and thats it. So of course I'm losing! I just not sure what to do at this point. Just would like some feed back from other people who has been through this.
Thanks

My Gp is from diabetes also. I have lost 37lbs of the 100lbs I needed to loss already! My family doesnt want me to have the surgery now because they feel like I can loss it on my own because of the GP. But I'm on a liquid diet since May of three protein shakes a day, of course I'm losing. I had read where the sleeve could help with the nausa and flare ups of GP plus if it could help me eat some and not be obese anymore well......  Im just scared if or when I can eat I will just gain and I'm tried of being overweight (have been my whole life) except when I yoyo diet! I also have other health issues that I need to get the weight off for. I didnt think I would ever say this but I dont want to get too small! But I want my life back!!!! GP is no fun!!!! I see my surgeon on the 21st. surgery is schedule for around the 17th of Sept.
Thanks for your input!
