Q: gastric bypass stomach ulcers
asked by: kailei22 on July 6th, 2008

I had gastric bypass surgery in January 2007 & developed a stomach ulcer in June of that same year. I have been fighting it ever since. I am 6'3 & down to 165 pounds. Way too thin! I can't seem to find anything to eat. I am taking liquid carafate & nexium. Since having the surgery, I also found out that I am lactose intolerant.
Has anyone had this same thing. What can I eat? I need to gain some weight because it is getting serious. My gastric surgeon says that he can cut the ulcer out, but I will lose another 20 pounds while it heals. Help!!

Why did you have gastric bypass surgery? Were you overweighted or else?
Where is the ulcer located?
What symptoms do you have? Why you can't eat?

gastric bypass & ulcer
I had g.b. in Sept. of 06 and have developed an ulcer. I was told it was because of the anti-inflammatories I had been taking for arthritis. I, too, am having a hard time eating. The ulcer bothers me enough to make me not want to eat (which is really unusual). Seems many things upset it and I just don't have the urge to keep up my food intake. I am 5'9" and have dropped half my body weight - I now weigh about 136.. I'd like to know the easiest things on the stomach with the most protein and nutritive values.. I'm really not fond of protein drinks..
