Ulcers, pancreatitus and Pylori bacteria history prior to WLS

I have a question in regards to ulcer history, pancreatitus and pylori bacteria history prior to WLS.  Has anyone had a history prior to WLS of either of these?  If so, did it affect your WLS?  I am worried soooooo much and freakin' out!!!!

I have a history of both and was on meds for it a couple of years ago (protonix) and I still take pepcid and it seems to have healed, but lately, I feel like it might be back and I am a little troubled as to how this could/would affect WLS???

A couple of years ago, I had to hospitalized with serious pain that the dr. couldn't figure out what it was.... I had taken byetta for 6 months of the same year and about 3 months after I stopped, I had this attack that the dr. couldn't quite identify....he came to the conclusion that I had pancreatitius...was treating for pancreaitits..but it NEVER got better, two mos. later i saw a specialist who determined that I had an ulcer and pylori bacteria in my stomach... I was treated for this condition and it got better...
now i am freakin out again since the pain seems to have come back...not quite as intense as it was when i ended up in the hosp... but still had enough today to have me in tears and leaving working after only being there 45 mins...

i know either problem, ulcer, pylori bacteria or pancretitus can be HUGE issues w. WLS....anyone had EVER experience???  I sure could use some advice.  I sure don't want to lose the chance at my WLS over this, but I am scared!!!


Thanks

at my surgery my surgern said it looked like at one time i had pancretitos but was ok now..im doing great with the wieght loss now

i had bleeding ulcers a couple years before surgery and it never stopped a thing in pre-testing and i am doing well now.

Try not to worry.

Huge Hugs,

Pam,

I don't think it'd prevent you from having WLS..but I do think it would be something the surgeon & nut may have to tailor your diet plan around. Just be sure to tell them everything pre-op as you have us.

I hope you get to feeling better!

Thanks Sherri.

I am under ALOT of stress @ work and I think between that and worrying about the insurance approval, I have worked myself into a frenzy.  I am going to "take this weekend off" and enjoy some fellowship w. family and friends and try to put everything out of the back of my mind for a while.  

I will be sure to tell them about my issues with the pain so they can be informed and together we can get this thing on the right track.

Thanks again
