ulcers and pouch

[brittersmom 33]

Does anyone know if its normal to get ulcers being post op? Its been a year this month and now I have ulcers and a pouch on my sleeve. Dr said I have a pouch growing off my staple line due to low blood flow after surgery. I've been very sick due to all this. I'm honestly scared and tired of always being sick.

Oh no! I'm so sorry u r experiencing so many issues with your sleeve. I am just 4 days post op. I am unsure how common ulcers are after sleeve. I have known a couple people who had the gastric bypass an got ulcers too. I pray they go away and that your overall heath be strengthened.

I drink coffee, do you? I know that it is an addiction and we are told to not drink coffee after the sleeve because it could cause ulcers. I have also read that when that happens the doctors will recommend a bypass surgery because the sleeve is damaged. What have they suggested?

I don't drink coffe but I drink tea. Their going to go on with a scope and check things out. He haant mentioned any other surgeries tho. I really hope not

Tea and coffee both contain tannic acid that over time will eat the lining of your stomach. That may be the culprit.
