I had a mini gastric bypass from sleeve. I developed ulcers. Surgeon tried to fix me but they came back on once a day Protonix every day for 6 years

I continue to have ulcers and take medication daily to keep the pain down. Dr. Jalil remove ulcerative tissue but there is something fundamentally wrong with the ulcers returning

Fool me once? I don't believe this. Why?

I am in shock. Never thought they would do such a crime.

Normally who you are having surgery with will pick you up in San Diego. Contact them to see if they do. They would have a better chance of having medical badge. I doubt regular taxis would have medical badges or credentials for that lane. I used BariatricPal and was picked up and returned with no issues.

I have the mini and have been stable for 2 years. My weight stays between 134 and 138 based on water, fiber and calorie intake. I gain if I don’t get enough calories. I pretty must eat anything in small quantities. Eggs, beef, chicken, salmon,tuna, veggies, some fruits, protein pasta, occasionally protein shakes or bars. I am 5’6” and my high weight was 269.

Frustra8 - I am still too young for Medicare. No insurance right now. Pay cash for my thyroid medicine. Will continue to pay cash because it was always higher with drug coverage. I hope to delay the journey to Medicare as long as I can. I feel your pain and wish things were better for you.

Do you take liquid or tablet form of Sucralfate? I have to get back on it.

I was a sleeve revision to MGB. I had horrible reflux with the sleeve and unsatisfactory weight loss. I don’t have reflux with the MGB but for unknown reasons I have ulcers. I am at 136 lbs from high weight of 269. This is better than my goal of 150. I am 5’ 6” I eat pretty much anything. Chicken, ground beef, steak, turkey. Any kind of vegetable and a little protein pasta sometimes. If I take my medicine I am fine. No issues. I had IBS with Constipation and WLS did not improve this. I will be glad to answers any other questions. My revision two years ago this month.

All I had was pain. Nothing else.

Did you get yours healed?

I sure hope you get better. I know all about weighing the good and the not so good. I have hope a job is coming soon. Also I will start getting some unemployment payments next Friday. I have used GoodRX before and it really helped.

My doctor did put me on dexilant and it was good. I have been unemployed and have not been able to get it refilled. I hope next week I get it refilled. My plain ompertole is not cutting it.

I am experiencing my second ulcer. Never was nauseous or had vomiting. Just really excruciating pain. The second one hurts below my breastbone about 4 inches. Nothing heals the ulcer, I can’t take Protonix anymore as it was becoming toxic to me. Don’t know why I have recurring ulcers.

Let us know how you come out of your test.

I am a sleeve to MGB. I don’t have reflux but suffer from ulcers. I am below my target weight. I did have bile reflux like you with the sleeve. That is the worst. Who did your surgery?

I am below my goal by 5 lbs. Smaller than even in high school. I feel great and if I ask Dr. Illan a question he always answers.

Dr. Illan is a top notch surgeon. He did my MGB. Plus the hospital and staff were better than any care I received in the states.

You are doing great. I am also a sleeve to MGB. I have been losing with the MGB much better than the sleeve. My starting weight before MGB was 240 and today I weighed 163. I am really excited to get this low. My goal is 150. I am 5' 7".
