The Ulcers are back....and I am starting to lose it
Well, I started having severe pain yesterday and it continued into today...so, on the phone I got with the GI. They did an emergent scope today and the ulcers are back...there are two and this time they are bleeding. I am losing my confidence and resolve...and my good spirit.
I am upping meds once again...as well as trying a newer treatment. I am exhausted and frustrated and in need of prayer all over the place. If you have a church and the church has a prayer list...please add me to it. I just really need prayer for healing and for the healing to STAY!
Thanks all...

Lisa....please dont get down. I had my RNY after you and have had to deal with the same sort of thing. Those darn ulcers were so hard to heal! I had RNY on 10-31-2007 then a revision and vagotomy on 2-2-2008. This finally fixed me with of course mega doses of tummy meds. Please dont give up. It does get better. I will lift you up in prayer, that is what helped me heal. Lean on your friends on the board here.

Good am Lisa,
(((PRAYERS/HUGS))) I know this has been an uphill battle for you. Know that you are not alone. I've dealt with bleeding ulcers since just over 1 year post-op and they have improved greatly. I most recently had a flare up which has since subsided with Protonix which works great for me. I know your frustrated and tired and you WILL get through this. Take each day and find the positives. I know even that isn't easy when you're suffering. Keep us posted.
