SkinnyScrapper 57 Posted June 20, 2013 Has anyone had to postpone their surgery due to endoscopy results? 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. 1 Ms skinniness reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JessicaAnn 564 Posted June 20, 2013 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.

Ms.AntiBand 2,984 Posted June 20, 2013 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SkinnyScrapper 57 Posted June 21, 2013 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.

PGee 318 Posted June 21, 2013 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
