Hi all...im new here n i found this to be a great site. So after a week and a half of waiting for insurance approval, i find out on the same day that i have a stomach ulcer...womp womp...(i say stressing from waiting for the approval gave me the ulcer) lol..anyway i was wondering if anyone had this issue and if you were still able to get the band. Oh and my surgery date was set for april 18th

I found out the Friday before my sugery ( surgery was on a wednesday ) that my stomach has ulcers all over it.. They are tiny, but the dr. said it looked like my stomach had chicken pox.. They gave me meds to drink for 28 days and my stomach has felt a lot better since then. They said they would keep an eye out on it, but since I was having the surgery and my diet would change they weren't going to be too concerned about it..

So did u have ur lapband already? so far it looks like only one ulcer close to the small intestine. They sent out a biopsy to make sure its not cancerous
