Key Points

• Gastroparesis may be refractory to treatment including gastric electrical stimulation in patients with diabetes mellitus type 1 and obesity

• Compared to gastrectomy as a treatment for refractory gastroparesis, Roux-Y reconstruction with stomach left in situ (similar to gastric bypass) is a less extensive surgery and requires less operative time

• Roux-en-Y gastric bypass with maintenance of the gastric pacemaker in the remnant stomach is a feasible and safe procedure
