Question:
Burning sensation in my stomach?
Im 5 weeks post op from my Gastric bypass. For the past two day i have this burning sensation in my stomach thats pretty uncomfortable and complete loss of my appetiet, i dont think its an ulcer because its not that painful it just pretty uncomfortale burning. Has anyone expericed this? Could it be i need a stronger antacid???? — venessa24 (posted on May 14, 2011)

I am five months post op. I too had the burning in my stomach and could
not eat. I went to a group meeting a few weeks ago and no one else in the
room seemed to have this problem. I also had to force myself to eat. I am
now on Tecta as I had ulcers years ago. It certainly helps. Hope this
helps.

Make sure you have not taken any Insaids, that is any, Advil, Aleve,
aspirin, anything for inflamation, or any antibiotics. After I had
weight-loss surgery, I couldn't take many antibiotics that before didn't
bother me. Also, in my 4th month post op, even after being negative in
testing pre-op, I developed H-pylori. So if this pain continues, you need
to get back to your surgical center and get tested. Stay on a bland diet
until you can see your doctor. Look up H-pylori on Web-MD or Wiki, and see
if it sounds like you. See your doctor. Hope this helps! Good luck!!

Hi, I agree with the prev two posts - see your doctor asap. Are you
getting in as much water as you can? And in addition to avoiding NSAIDS
(nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) i.e ibuprofen, advil to name a few
becareful of some over the counter cold medications and bisphosphonates
-which are taken for osteporosis and other similar conditions. There is a
link right here in obesityhelp.com which has lots of information about
taking medications after bariatric surgery:

I am 4 months post op.....CALL YOUR DR ASAP...MAKE AN APPOINTMENT TO GO SEE
HIM AS WELL...ITIS GOING TO BE ONE OF TWO THINGS....YOU EITHR HAVE AN ULCER
OR A BLOCKEAGE IN EITHER CASE THIS HAS TO BE RECTIFIED BEFORE YOU END UP IN
THE HOSPITAL...i went through it I ended up having a blockeage which I
eneded up being hospitalized again due to the fact that I was so dehidrated
from lack of liquid consumtion that I thought I was going to die...I
couldnt walk I couldnt breathe it was horrific...once I had the endoscopy
and they fixed the blockeage i felt 100% better.....Good luck
