As anyone out there experienced an ulcer in the area where the new stomach pouch is joined by the intestines? If so what where your symptoms? How did they treat it? How long before you felt better? Any information would be greatly appreciated.

I had that and I would feel like I had to have a BM and once I did I would feel better. But after a while ot quit helping. I doubled over in so much pain i couldn't stand it. Went to emergency room and they hooked me up to an IV and gave gave me a dose of liquid pain meds. I have to say it felt so strange because the pain was trying to win the battle. I ended up having a sonogram which was inconclusive and then an MRI which was inconclusive also. They k ew something was wrong though cause I had another attack in the MRI machine. I exploratory surgery and that's when it was found. It was a hernia near the mesentary gland. I was in hospital on outpatient basis but off work a couple days with restrictions due to the job I had.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
