brittersmom 33 Posted June 8, 2014 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.

Gr8fulMiniMe 66 Posted June 8, 2014 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BladeFox 235 Posted June 8, 2014 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? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TonyaNKy 79 Posted June 9, 2014 Tea and coffee both contain tannic acid that over time will eat the lining of your stomach. That may be the culprit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
