Has anyone had an ulcer after vsg? And if so what was the treatment. Im on day 10 of severe right abdomen pain. Catscan showed swollen lymph nodes in my small intestines which indicates infection so im being treated for that but i have severe burning in the middle of my upper abdomen and my pain gets worse with any thing i eat..and i have ALOT of gurling going on!!

See the issue is im almost two years postop and reglux and everything went away.. Started again a couple months ago and now i have pain and burning in the upper right and middle of my abdomen, so he is thinking possible ulcer. Im just wondering if anyone has had it and what treatment consists of..

The hida scan is the only way the found my bad gallbladder.. I hope that you figure it out soon! I just had my appendix out 4 weeks ago. This stomach psin has been for 10 days now..

I know its not gallstones i dont have my gallbladder.. Lol..My surgeon is thinking i may need a scope to see if it is an ulcer..

I'm 18 months postop and my honeymoon stage ended around 6-8 months.. I lost 80 pounds in 6 months then the next six months lost 30 pounds.. I'm still not at goal and have been struggling alot with the last 20 pounds.. Even had a gain due to a 6 week dose of prednisone and stress from my wedding. But getting back on track and looking to the end reward of GOAL!!! Stating positive!!

Thank you!!!

I am 5'4! My goal weight is 155, that puts my at ideal weight for BMI. Thanks for your kind words!!

This is my before (282) and picture(175) still have about 20 pounds to go! I am almost 15 months postop.. So far total lost 109 pounds!

Wow!! Where has the time gone?? Can't believe it's been 14 months already!! I'm down a total of -106 pounds and I couldn't be happier!! I'm even getting married!!!!! My fiancé and I have been together 8.5 years and we have finally picked a date..10/27/12!!!! I LOVE MY SLEEVE AND MY LIFE!!!! Still have 21 pounds to go to ultimate goal, but I WILL GET THERE!!!!

Thank you!!!!

What happened to Tiffkins?? Tiffany???

I'm in!!! SW 176 GW 160!!!

Thank you all!! This is the most amazing journey and yes it teaches us to make better choices and helps us to control our portion sizes!!!

June it will get easier!! My dad had surgery in Msy and felt the same way I have to keep telling him it's all worth it!! You will be a le to eat alittle more on e you get farther out, but it's still a small amount.

Thanks everyone!!!

I also chose the sleeve because I felt it was a safer surgery for me. I was scared to death of the complications associated with the bypass of the intestines. However, I had the sleeve 13.5 months ago and still have 17-23 more pounds to go to get to goal. I had lost 80 pounds in the first six months but have only lost 24 pounds in the last 7.5 months, but it's still coming off but just very slowly!!! My surgeon told me that my sleeve had done its job and the last pounds are going to come off with my hard work, which I'm ok with because I want to get to goal so BAD that it's teaching me to eat right and exercise!! This is a LIFESTYLE CHANGE! I also have experience dumping with the sleeve, which they say can happen with the sleeve just not to often! It was a very scary thing and I hope it never happens again!! Good luck in your decision and make the one that works best for YOU!! This is all about YOU!!!

Thanks!!!

U look amazing!!!!

Girl u look fabulous!! If I remember correctly we had our surgeries around the same time!!! Keep rocking that sleeve!!

I'm 34 and everyone says I look 10 years younger!! Loving it!!!

I'm 13 months postop in the beginning I started at 282, my goal was to lose 132 which would put me at 150. I'm currently 178.. Total lose so far -104 pounds..Still have 28 pounds to get to ultimate goal! I had lost 80 pounds in my first 6 months and the last 7 months I have been a very slow loser. My surgeon told me my next 28 pounds are going to be from hard work and exercise! I did not exercise alot in the first year, but am realizing in order to get to goal I must!!! I do not have loose skin as of yet! Thank god!! But who knows what the next 28 pounds will do!!! I went from a size 24 to a 12 so far. Good luck on your journey!!!

I just passed my 13 month Surgiversarry!!!! Went from a size 24 to a 12 so far and loving this journey!!! BEST DECISION!!!!
