Stricture + Ulcer has anyone had both at the same time?

My sister is 2 yrs. post op, has a VERY stressful home life. A few months ago she started with throwing up a few times a week, then it progressed to every other day, then to daily. She got scoped and the doctor found a ulcer and said the ulcer caused the stricture. She had to get the ulcer healed before he cleared up the stricture. If my sister weight 110 soaking we that is alot, she lives on Ensure because she cannot keep any food down. Has anyone here had both at the same time. I think she is suffering too much but she will not go to another doctor

That's horrible!! I hope she finds relief soon.. And hopefully someone has some insight. I always think that if you go a year with no problems your probably good to go but that just goes to show that these problems can come up at anytime!

Thanks Kristy.... who would of ever thought that 2 yrs. post op you would get a stricture and ulcer !!! From what her doctor is saying the ulcer caused the stricture and that is common in RNY patients. How a ulcer causes a stricture I have no idea... because stricture is the scar tissue.

I believe she is just buying it outright... you do have a point and I am going to tell her that, Ensure is VERY expensive too !!! Who would have ever though 2 yrs post op and a stricture...but from what the dr. is saying the ulcer caused the stricture !!!
