I had gastric bypass in June of last year with few problems until just recently.  I started having bad pain in my stomach and thought it was my gallbladder but was told by my doctor today that it is a stomach ulcer.  I am wondering if anyone out there who has had weight loss surgery has experienced the same and what you can tell me worked for you as far as pain, healing and stress relief.  I am now on two meds that I have to take prior to eating.  It has been a painful and sleepless week for me and I really need some relief.

I had an ulcer that landed me in the hospital for 3 days.  It took proper diet, Protonix, Nexium and time for mine to heal.  I started feeling better after about two weeks of the Protonix/Nexium regimum.  My follow up two months later showed the ulcer had healed, but they still have me taking a Nexium daily.

Me! Not fun. Mine opened my pouch and I'm off for revision surgery next week.  14 day treatment of omeprazole healed in. Then daily Nexium. Good luck!
