Possible ulcer?
I am 4 years out of RNY - Went to bed last night with some pain in my left upper side, under ribs.
Today, the pain is constant. Feels similar to an air bubble being stuck but more constant. What are the symptoms of an ulcer?
SIDE NOTE - I had my heart checked several times a few months ago because I kept getting pain in my chest, right where my heart is. Ticker is PERFECT thank God! Could this be symptom of ulcer as well?
From listening to a few who have spoken about ulcers, they state the pain is more than minor. Blood in stool is another BIG SIGNAL of an ulcer. It doesn't sound logical for pain in the heart area to be signals of an ulcer. GUT pain and bright red toile****er or darker red stool would warrant a call to your surgeon, and/or a trip to the ER to check for an ulcer. DAVE
