Think theres a problem

So since Friday evening I have been feeling really bad ! I have had this horrible pain under my ribs but above my belly button in the middle. It hurts soo bad especially at night and always after I eat... No matter if I just have a protein shake it actual food. I only eat lean meat and a few bites of non starchy veggies. Since it started I can only eat maybe 1.5-2oz and then I feel sick and gassy and am in excruciating pain for hours... Not to mention diarreah all weekend... I have absolutely no clue what is wrong with me... Before Friday my health was perfect with no problems at all!!! Anyone have a clue what's going on?

Had my endoscopy today and all went very well. My dr said there were no strictures or scar tissue but that I did have a huge ulcer below my pouch at the anostomosis (spelling) he put me on two antibiotics and carafate to heal the ulcer and I go back in 2 weeks to see him!

I'm glad it all went well. I pray the ulcer goes away to.

It's the inevitable with the ulcer , diagnosed 12 weeks after surgery in carafate for 6 weeks to heal the ulcer and then I'm told gotta take nexium for the rest if my life ... It sucks , kind of was hoping for less pills after surgery but I guess it's better than what could've been the outcome if I stayed the way I was going

Thanks, yes most days I am feeling much better! I skipped a day of meds and of course the next day I was in pain!! Dr. said it can take up to 6 months for the ulcer to heal and I will be rescoped at that time to make sure it's gone.
