Yup me...found "significant" ulcers. I had to postpone for a month...but that turned into 2 due to vacations. I go back for my second one next week. I have met several othet sleevers who had this as well. They all turned out fine. It just gave me more time to prepare.

Also I hear about lots of postpones due to results of endoscopys usually a bunch of ulcers or H Pylori

My mom has had to postpone her surgery about 8 months. She has a significant ulcer that just won't heal. It has to be removed. She's going in on Monday for her sleeve, but if the ulcer is in the way they will have to do a full bypass. I had ulcers too, but mine healed over the 6 month supervised diet.

Yes. Took 18 months and many more endoscopies before I was cleared. I was a mess with bleeding ulcers in my esphogus and stomach, and I was severally anemic

I hear ahow do you heal ulcers?

The #1 cause of ulcers is h pyori bacterial infection. I had a biopsy which showed I had this. I took 2 grams amoxycilon and 1 gram of another antibiotic twice per day for 14 days. Yes, that would be 3 grams per day... 6 horse pills a day! I also took myself off coffee, energy shots and soda...might as well do that now. I will find out if this aorked next week but both the surgeon and gastro thought it would.

i saw my surgeon at the beginning of the process and she did blood tests which included H Pylori ..it came back negative I get my chance lessens further that I don't smoke,drink,take pain meds and my soda in take is very low and I have completely stopped last month. I'm more worried about a hiatal hernia.

I just got the results of my endoscopy.....no ulcers, no H.Pylori, [YAY!] but was told I have a hiatal hernia---the kind that has no symptoms/pain. I think the bariatric surgeon will fix the hernia during the operation.
