Help/Scared! Possible ulcer!
annar562 replied to HilaryInRC's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I would just go to ER if I were you. Especially cause you are a few months out. Rather be on the safe side and have them do a whole work up on you. I had severe pain a year ago ..chills nausea you name it....hubby rushed me to ER and they immediately did a ct scan...turns out I had kidney stones. ..fast forward this year ...started having pain and nausea again but a bit stronger. ..called dr. they ran test turns out it was acid in my stomach. ..any kind of pain right now could be anything. ..I suggest you go get checked. .. -
Totally! You will have stalls during first year...sometimes you may lose a lot and then nothing...it happens to everyone...10 lbs first week is pretty awesome!

I will be 2 years post op next January and I have been having some unusual symptoms: *Bloating *Wake up with nausea *A dull but constant pain in my stomach (feels like hunger pain) *Pain radiates to my back sometimes Went to GP and he ordered blood work to check liver function and h.pylori...so far everything normal. .I have upcoming ultrasound to check liver and gallbladder. ..I am wondering if this is the route he should take rather than just make sure I have no ulcers or something wrong with pouch....???

Thanks ladies...I woke up feeling a lil better today but I've noticed I am not eating as much as I should be for fear of pain. Not good ! I know....hopefully after I have ultrasound I can know for sure if it's gallstones or something else...so far I started taking Prilosec ...let's see how that helps. ..will keep you posted

He ordered Prilosec for me should be getting that soon....could be acid since I did suffer from it prior to gastric bypass. ..but I read it can cause ulcers in pouch :/

It's really hard to predict. ...I lost 10 lbs pre-op...I lost average of 6-8 per month for first 6 mos...I had several stalls in between. ..last 2-3 months I lost the most weight of my first year post op...I lost a total of 104lbs and have maintained. .. I will be 2 years in January
