I had gastric bypass surgery 2 1/2 years ago and now in 5 months I have had 4 ulcers and is there anyone that has had problems with ulcers if so please let me know

I haven't but am certainly worried about that. Do you know the cause?

I have been very careful not to take NSAIDs because I know they can be the culprit. I miss them as I have severe arthritis.

I would be interested to know what causes them and what they do about it.

Sorry to hear this is happening to you.

They do not know way I keep getting them. When are you going to have the surgery

I had my surgery 16 months ago. I am down 140lbs and am entering the maintenance phase.

I am now a normal BMI of 24.5

I have had no complications and hope that trend continues. I did this to get healthy. I have type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, severe Gerd, anemia, sleep apnea and stage 3 kidney disease.

All are in remission.

I do have severe osteo arthritis of the spine and psoriatic arthritis which are both worse at the moment but I am working through it.

I lost 208 lbs

Unfortunately, stomach ulcers remain one of the primary complications of RNY surgery (over 50%). There are a number of risk factors for the development of these.

Did you have an EGD prior to your surgery?

This article from Bariatric Times sums up this common problem. Hopefully yours is easily treated.
