Do Sleeve Gastrectomies Result in Improved Gastric Emptying and Thus Improved Symptoms in Patients With Diabetic Gastroparesis?

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.

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.

Inclusion Criteria:

- Age 18 years and above

- BMI > 35

- Diagnosis of diabetic gastroparesis as confirmed via scintigraphy

- Subject opting to undergo sleeve gastrectomy

Exclusion Criteria:

- Any previous weight loss surgery or prior gastrectomies
