About
The purpose of this registry is to evaluate if sleeve gastrectomy surgery will help with symptoms of delayed gastric emptying for patients suffering from diabetic gastroparesis.
Full description
This is a prospective registry enrolling patients with an established diagnosis of diabetic gastroparesis and interested in receiving a sleeve gastrectomy for weight loss. An often intentional outcome of sleeve gastrectomy is an increase in gastric emptying. The relationship between how beneficial this outcome could be for diabetic gastroparesis patients suffering from delayed gastric emptying is not very well established. The purpose of this study is to find out if sleeve gastrectomy surgery will also help with symptoms of delayed gastric emptying. This study involves completing the Gastroparesis Cardinal Symptom Index questionnaire before your weight loss surgery and after surgery at the following time points; 30 days, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months.
