Sorry to hear about your sufferings. I am about 1 year and 4 months out from my Gastric Bypass and have had a horrific go of it. I have had to have multiple abdominal scans and throughout the last 6 months it has been, well devastating. You can see from the pictures below "sorry to be graphic with photos" but want people to understand this is something that can happen. It does not happen to everyone, so if you are going to have the Bypass, do not automatically assume this will happen to you. Unfortunately mine will not go away and perforation is always a possibility for me.
I never had stomach ulcers pre-surgery and my Bariatric Doctor is man enough to say the surgery is the cause of the ulcers. Since I am malnourished, extremely weak all the time, and now am consistently battling these deep bleeding ulcers you see below, we are looking at doing a reversal soon. If my insurance company will pay for it as I have had to come up with well over 15, 000 out of pocket for the last few years and am unable to continue financially at this pace.
I was taking Omeprazole and it was not until I stopped taking it that the ulcers became dominating, so I am unsure if it was keeping them at bay or not. I take 2 Protonix everyday as well as Carafate. I long for the day of reversal as this has not been a good experience for me. I am glad I have a good surgeon.
