About this trial
In this research study, biopsy samples will be collected to provide more insight into the underlying cause of the motility disorders, help direct further investigation into the cause of the underlying condition, provide future prognosis and predict response to gastric electrical stimulation (GES).

Trial population
Patients who have been diagnosed with gastropareiss and are undergoing surgery for full thickness biopsy GES implantation willl serve as our study group, Patients who are undergoing surgery on the digestive system but do not have gastroparesis, will serve as our control group.

Primary outcomes
Biologic Markers As Predictors for Gastric Electrical Stimulation Outcomes
To determine if ICC abnormalities of the stomach and proximal jejunum can be used as a biologic marker in predicting clinical outcome in patients undergoing surgical implantation of gastric electrical stimulation (GES) for severe gastroparesis.
