Gastritis and RnY



Recommended Posts

I had a bit of gastritis. Still had my surgery. I’m more curious how many people don’t have gastritis.....:)

I work in a hospital. Every patient I’ve ever had has gastritis it seems. They may put you on a PPI before surgery. I think you’ll be fine. Can’t see them cancelling for something so common.

When researchers examine the removed portion of stomach from RNY and Sleeve patients...something obscene...like 60% show chronic gastritis.

You do want to have the test to make sure you don't have the ulcer bacteria present. If you have that, it'll need to be treated before surgery. But if not, it shouldn't cause a delay.

PS...I had an endoscopy and had chronic gastritis diagnosed, too. They took biopsies to check for the helicobacter pylori bacteria...and I didn't have any. No delay on surgery. (I did have sleeve, though, not RNY, full disclosure)

I was found to have gastritis and h-pylori a few weeks prior to surgery. I had to take some pretty mean antibiotics to cure it. 12 pills per day. The antibiotics we're worse than the gastritis. They still went on with the rny.

I've been on PPIs for years because of GERD, which had caused gastritis years ago. There was no signs of problems leading up to my RNY and I had my surgery this past year.

I'd say not to get discouraged.

I haven't met a person who had a positive experience with taking antibiotics. But I already have gastritis, so antibiotics can't make it worse. I'm philosophical about it: I'd rather endure it all now, and then I'll be happy about my improved well-being. Unfortunately, ordinary pills to improve digestion won't help with gastritis, otherwise, doctors would be out of work. My operation will take place on schedule, the surgeon saw no point in delaying.

      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.

        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!
