I have not had an ulcer but I take Nexium every day. I do have diarehea about every 3 months which my dr. says is wasting syndrome from the extra instestine building up bacteria. I have to take antibiotics. Good luck. Dianne

Topic: RE: always eating -- help me
Sorry, I've been away for so long (I lost my password), I've gained 17 pounds from my lowest (which was really to skinny) as well. I did fit day today and realized fat and carbs are way up and protien is way down. I know what I have to do. I made a committment to do a mini-marathon in April, that should help as well.

Topic: ULCER
Hello been awhile.. I had gotten to where I could not eat again.. So I went to a stomach Dr Because all my GB Dr kept sayin was thats why you have this surgery is so you can't eat much.. Well I knew that but I should been able to take more then 2 bites and be full and me this far out... So I went to the Stomach Dr and had an Upper GI done and found out that I have an Ulcer the size of a Golf ball right where the new stomach and the Intestines is join now.. And the Dr said he is seeing this in GB People.. And he said its cause from not getting enough blood flow through.. And I also have a BAD Yeast infection in the Esophagus said he is seeing this also in GB people said thats from not enough acid... But hes gonna recheck me the first of December to see how the meds are working he said I could be looking at having the surgery reversed... I was just wanting to see if anyone else is having this problem or that U know of... I also know another girl that had her GB by the same DR and she had an Ulcer also.. I have not talked to her to find out where hers is But was wanting to check with all yall also... To see how everyone else is doing.... Thanks for any help.. JENNIFER

Congradulations Sweetie. I wish you well! The best advice I can give you is to freeze your child at 10 and thaw him or her out at 23. Many blessings, just keep following your diet and you should do well. Love, Lori
