I was due to have surgery on Thursday (9/24). Last week, my endoscopy showed my esophagus and stomach full of ulcers. Never had so much as an ounce of pain. Which is good, I guess, but if I had, I would have gone to the doc. Needless to say, the gastro wouldn't clear me for surgery. I have a follow-up in a month and they'll re-do the endoscopy. I'm on a prescription dosage of Prevacid. Waiting for biopsy results to see if I need meds for H-Pylori. I've heard that severe food allergies can also be a culprit - which concerns me - as I'm allergic to 70% of what I'm tested for.

Did anyone have ulcers prior to their surgery? If so, how long before they healed? Research is all over the place. 2 weeks to clear, 4 weeks to clear, 8 weeks to clear. My surgeon said she's never had anyone pushed longer than 6 weeks. I'm not rushing it - I would rather have a healthy stomach and be free of bacteria (if that's what's causing them).

Thanks for your input!

I had 5 úlcers ???? when I went in for surgery , and a huge hernia . My hernia was fixed during the same surgery . As for my ulcers my husband says they left with the part of my stomach that was removed Jiji. I have never ever after surgery gotten an ulcer pain so I'm pretty they are gone.
