    catinaadams got a reaction from 2goldengirl in 9 months post op and still can't keep food down   
    Gina, you need to get a dr to perform and EGD. I had the same issues and had 8 EGDS done one the first 2 years post op to learn After switching dr's for the last one that I had scar tissue that needed to be removed after that I was able to keep food down due to him "cleaning up that mess". Then bad news followed over the next 3 years I started to gain weight, developed a n ulcer and now a hiatal hernia in my new pouch. I am 6 years post op and getting ready to undergo a revision to remove the ulcer. This is something that you should now ignore. Please talk to your dr asap and if nothing else get a second opinion.

    catinaadams got a reaction from MinaT in Bypass vs. Sleeve   
    I developed an ulcer do to miscommunication from the dr that performed my first bypass. It was discovered approx 3 months after my bypass when I switched dr's at this time it was addressed and was treated w medication however it continued to get worse as time went by. For the past 6 months I've been vomiting so I avoided foods I thought to be causing it only to get to where I am now where it doesn't matter what I eat or drink nothing is staying but the calories (not losing weight at all). My dr tells me since my first procedure was done they have learned new ways to cut the stomach to avoid stretching he also talks of a hormone they now remove to makes you hungry. Whatever works thou as I'm tired of being in pain not knowing which hurts worse the hiatal hernia or the ulcer.

    I had the bypass and am now 6 years post op w complications. My new dr is going in and removing the hormone producing part of the stomach along when redoing the cut on my stomach. He explains back when I had it done they cut the stomach different which proved in many patients around the 3 year mark for their stomach to start stretching and taking a new sharp which resulted in weight gain. Since then they perform of differently.
