Ulcer after sleeve surgery

[Jhawaiianhny 23]

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!

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.
