Gallbladder and gastroparesis

[sunny12]

Has anyone heard of developing gastroparesis after gallbladder surgery?  I had my gallbladder out (no stones) poor function in June 07, about a month later I know cannot eat food and have dx of gastroparesis from GES test.  Anyone with this condition-how it could develop?

check your thyroid,  it is rare, but a thyroid issue may cause it.....some doctors disagree, but my daughter has gastropareses and did not fit the traditionally profile, after finding 3 tumors on her thyroid and diagnosing her with hasimotor disease....her gastro dr....stated that if we get her thyroid under contol that may help her stomach...I did some research and it is a cause of gastropareses, even if it is rare.

Hi Sunny...what are the symptoms of gastroparesis? I had my gallbladder out in Sept. and have not felt well since then.

I was diagnosed with gastroparesis a year and a half after having my gallbladder removed (no stones, 0% ejection on dysida scan).  I was told that the "vegas nerve" could have been "damaged" during the surgery and that is probably the cause since I am young,  healthy and not a diabetic.

Hi sunny.  I have the same symptoms like you do.   I can not eat and when I eat I can not digest my food.  Our medical treatment sucks.  I had no pain before my GB syurgery.  now I can't eat and have indigestion all the time.  what is going on with me, I am young?  I have pain and do not digest my food.  Is it going to become some sort of stomach cancer down the road?

Can someone help us and advise?
