Ulcers
I had an Endoscopy done on Monday and I have 2 ulcers in my pouch. I had surgery 11/28 so it hasn't even been 2 months yet. I haven't smoked or taken any meds that are not prescribed to me so I have no idea how this happened. I don't think it is possible to have had them before gastric bypass. I'm just worried! I was wondering why it hurt after i ate anything. I am taking a medicine that starts with an O 2 times a day and in 2 months go to 1 time a day. Just kinda depressed about the whole thing.
I'm sorry to hear your experiencing this. I had my surgery on 10/28. By Christmas I had FOUR ulcers. I know they are miserable! But, the good news is... If you keep taking the meds (NASTY!!) They will go away. I feel SO much better now :) Have you talked to your nutritionist? For me, with her encouragement, Cream of Wheat was a godsend! You can even mix your protein powder of choice into it.
The nutritionist also did some research and found that a small number of us RNY folks actually have more acid producing receptors in our stomach's than others. My surgeon upped my nexium to twice a day to counteract that possibility.
I hope you are back on your feet and feeling fine soon!
