Ulcers Found During Endoscopy



Recommended Posts

Hello !!

This is my first post, although I've been *lurking*'for many many months. I finally had the endoscopy last week and it revealed that I had a couple ulcers in my stomach. Dr didn't discuss with me after - the nurse told me, gave me the photos, a prescription for Prilosec and said I should let my PCP know. I'm slightly annoyed that the doctor didn't discuss it with me.

My question is, does this discovery affect my eligibility for the surgery ? I tried to search around here but i am coming up empty on an answer.

Another wake up call for me ! I have PsA (psoriatic arthritis) and use a biologic (Humira) injections and I am also worried about that.

Thanks! Love this website ! So much helpful information and support!!

Im going through this right now too. I had an upper GI today which showed some ulcers. My surgeon said that we have to find out if the ulcers are caused by bacteria (they can test with blood or a biopsy). If they are, they give a 2 week regimen of antibiotics and approx 6 weeks of an antacid (like prilosec). I still don't know if mine are bacterial, but once I do I'll be able to start treatment. Are you as disappointed as I am? I'm sooo bummed to be having a setback. My surgeon said it's important to be healthy and fully healed...at least that is his rules.

Good luck to you. I'm anxious to hear what your doc says!

Yes, had the biopsy and mine are not bacterial, just good old fashioned ulcers. He said they have to be healed before surgery. N

I'm trying to make the best of it but yeah I am BUMMED OUT big time !! My follow up endoscopy was pushed back 2 more weeks as my doc doesn't think they will be healed in 6 weeks.

Also had my psych veal last week and the psych wants to see me again !? Anyhow, it seems like its never going to be the end of the road for me !! LOL

Gotta laugh or I'd go crazy :)

Good luck to you !

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
