As anyone out there experienced an ulcer in the area where the new stomach pouch is joined by the intestines? If so what where your symptoms? How did they treat it? How long before you felt better? Any information would be greatly appreciated.

I had that and I would feel like I had to have a BM and once I did I would feel better. But after a while ot quit helping. I doubled over in so much pain i couldn't stand it. Went to emergency room and they hooked me up to an IV and gave gave me a dose of liquid pain meds. I have to say it felt so strange because the pain was trying to win the battle. I ended up having a sonogram which was inconclusive and then an MRI which was inconclusive also. They k ew something was wrong though cause I had another attack in the MRI machine. I exploratory surgery and that's when it was found. It was a hernia near the mesentary gland. I was in hospital on outpatient basis but off work a couple days with restrictions due to the job I had.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
