NO problem with ulcers. They did put me on 20 mg. of Prilosec twice a day to reduce acid which could lead to an ulcer, but it's just a preventative measure.

Yup, dealing with a marginal ulcer almost since surgery last July. Will be having surgery to fix it May 5th. I have the mini bypass.

I developed an ulcer on my incision line after surgery, about 3 weeks after surgery. It was extremely painful and I was in regret mode for a long time!! It took many weeks to heal and lots of medication but it's better now. Hang in there!

Hi everyone! My first time on here and I have no idea how this works. My GBS was completed 12/17/09. I'm 8 years post op. My start weight was 217 lbs and I made it to my goal of 98 lbs. during my journey there were some ups and downs but overall this has been the best thing I have ever done. The surgery gave me back my life.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
