Had my endoscopy today and all went very well. My dr said there were no strictures or scar tissue but that I did have a huge ulcer below my pouch at the anostomosis (spelling) he put me on two antibiotics and carafate to heal the ulcer and I go back in 2 weeks to see him!

It's the inevitable with the ulcer , diagnosed 12 weeks after surgery in carafate for 6 weeks to heal the ulcer and then I'm told gotta take nexium for the rest if my life ... It sucks , kind of was hoping for less pills after surgery but I guess it's better than what could've been the outcome if I stayed the way I was going

Thanks, yes most days I am feeling much better! I skipped a day of meds and of course the next day I was in pain!! Dr. said it can take up to 6 months for the ulcer to heal and I will be rescoped at that time to make sure it's gone.

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
