Ulcers

[TryingtobeSuperwoman 17]

Anybody developed an ulcer? I generally have a lot of nausea (surgery 5/30/12) and some burning in my pouch at night - when I lay down. I know these are classic signs of an ulcer. Seeing the doc on Tuesday, but wondered what you (anyone) experienced, what the course of treatment was, etc.?

OH NO, an ulcer I'm so sorry to here that, what do you think caused it?

I have no idea how it happened; I've followed all the rules. As I understand it, ulcers happen in a small percentage of RNY patients as a matter of course. I met a woman who had an ulcer and they placed a PIC line in for Fluid & Vitamin replenishment and have her off all food by mouth for six weeks. Ugh.
