Ulcer after sleeve surgery



Recommended Posts

Hi there, I tried doing a search for this topic bit didn't find one.

Just curious if anyone experienced an ulcer after having sleeve surgery.

My surgeon thinks that's what I have. I've been very nauseated and have been throwing up for almost a week now. Talked to him the other day and he said I should take omeprazole, to see if that helps.

I'm 9 weeks post op.

I have not had surgery yet but I experienced an ulcer a few months ago that was caused by taking Advil for my knee. I had to do a two week course of intensive antibiotics plus Omeprazole. I did not enjoy that one bit! But I'm rid of the ulcer.

Best of luck to you!

My surgeon had me on Omeprezol from Day 1.

I was diagnosed with an ulcer a year ago and was sent home with Nexium and other medicines too.

. Of course Gerd was diagnosed several years earlier .... But, because of the continuous pain in my stomach I was scoped again two weeks ago and was given a new diagnoses ; Barrett's esophagus.

My weight because of depression medication has caused a weight increase- to my starting weight 6 years ago. UGH...

Would I do it again, yes but would follow the strict regiment and support groups. Neither of these were offered me at the time because of my remote area I live.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
