Gastroparesis since I was 16 years old

Hello all I have had Gastroparesis since I was 16 years old. I just got really sick one year and didn't know what to do. I went to my doctor and he put me in the hospital and ran every single test on my stomach possible. I was in horrible shape and was so sick. he couldn't stop me from vomiting. This went on till I was 18 years old. When finally he got a me a gastric emptying test done. Come to find out in 12 hours I was only digesting 50 % of what I was eating. To this day I have that fullness thing after eating very little food. I don't eat a lot but I have gained a lot of weight from this disease. I had a jtube placement at that time when I was first diagnosed with it. It came out two months after the surgery. I get to points where I can't get enough to eat and then there are times when I get where I was not that hungry at all. I am now 32 years old. I get really bad heart burn at times. I just deal with it at times.
