Doc Appointment update..

Well, The Doc said that it is certainly an ulcer. He told me to take Priloseck(sp??).. (Amy K was right!!) for a month and see if that helps. If I am still throwing up then he will go in and do another dialation. But he thinks that my tummy is swollen cuz of the ulcer and that it is making me throw up. I told him that I still have trouble with meat. I said to him if I knew this surgery was going to make me a Vegetarian I would ate alot more meat before surgery.. lol.. Gosh, I am such a meat eater, it is so hard not to eat it.. Anyways.. We will see how the next few weeks go. but if I am still throwing up after 2 weeks I am going to go back in, not wait for the month.. Anyways, Thanks for your support! Luvs and Hugs! Tiff

Hope the Prilosec works for you. I have a terrible time with meat also. I can eat jerky like its going out of style but any other form of meat gives me fits. Good thing I like my protein shake and veggies LOL. I eat a lot of cheese also which helps make up for the meat. Good luck! Felicia =0)

Well I hope you feel better soon. I know there is a lady in my support group that had the same problem and she just takes prilosec from now on for the ulcer she has. My Dr had us take it for a couple of months before and after surgery. Its very common to get ulcers at the connection sites from the surgery. Well get better. Let me know how you are doin. I hear D-land calling our names..... Love Ya, Amy

Thanks Amy!! I am sure it will work.. Yes, DLand is calling our names.. I will call you next time we plan to go.. We can meet there!! Love ya too!! Tiff

Well I am glad I am not alone with the meat.. really sucks though.. I just got my meds and took one. lets cross our fingers things get better.. Oh Jerky makes me so sick.. I love cheese, eat it all the time.. Thanks Felicia!! Tiff

Hay Tif.. sorry to hear about the ulcer.. like Amy said , we started taking Prilosec pre op..and honestly, I still take one a day now..Dr Suh said there was no harm in continuning to take it..and I want to do anything I can to protect my stomach.. I think she is so cute.. a little bug in the rug of life..okay, I was in Newport all day today.. took Chuy & Angel shell hunting.. and maybe got a little too much sun LOL But I am hoping you take care and feel better. * I have still not tossed any cookies (KNOCKING ON WOOD). I am the kind that will start to cry 10 minutes before..I dont like to toss. I was not a beef eater pre op..but just to test it out I did have a bowl of beef stew @ 6 months.. didnt hurt ..but just am not a meat eater still.

Hey girl, Thanks for the support! You were in Newport? How fun.. It ended up being pretty huh after all the gloom wore off.. Me and Maira work right off 17th and the 55. Next time call me, we can meet for lunch.. No meat though!! lol Luvs and Hugs! Tiff

Well now I park on 17th..or is it 15th.. humm...

Sorry to hear about the ulcer. I take prevacid daily. I will have to take it for life. I had Barrett's esophagus pre-surgery. It was one of the reasons I had the RNY as opposed to a lap band. My surgeon said the lap band wouldn't help to heal my esophagus. Hope you find some relief soon. Aime

Hi Tiff, I hope the prilosec works for you. My doctor has me on that same med....I have my gallbladder surgery on June 1...hate the thought of another surgery...but oh well....Hope you get to feeling better soon!!! You are in my thoughts and prayers!! Hugs, Holly
