RNY on 10/30/2017. 8 months out. yes I am on protonix.

Thank you everyone for your comments and support. I have been struggling still. I am going to a group to help with the emotional roller coaster ride. It has helped that aspect of things. I have started another topic spot for my continuing issues. i would love input on m current situation as well.

Has anyone else experienced high gastrin levels, ulcers that wont heal and not being able to get enough fluid and protein down? I have had trouble since 4 weeks post op. No gastrin producing tumors found. I pushed really hard the 1st few months and heaved my way thru protein drinks and fluids. Was on TPN for 6 weeks. Now I stop fluids when I feel fullness, get a runny nose, get nausea or burping. I am overwhelmed and feel defeated. Any Suggestions? Nancy Q

My RNY was 10/30/17. I have had extreme nausea, vomiting and wound up on TPN. My gastrin levels were 400 (normal is<100), have ulcers(they are healing). The biggest problem though the emotional ups and downs! I have very little patience. Pre op I was very patient and tended to think before I opened my mouth. Now I am easily insulted, quicker to anger and I speak re-actively. I feel like I am pre-menstrual all the time. It has been a rough post op course but things are sloooooowly getting better. Hope to be off Tpn soon. Anyone else have these issues? I feel caught between some people being angry with me and others going " It's ok". I need to fix this. My behavior is my resposibility. Any thoughts or suggestions welcome!
