I had an ulcer that caused staple line disruption but they also found a gastro gastric fistula and it was revised on 2/27. They made a new pouch and bypassed more of my intestine at the same time.

I changed it to revision by clicking on my account, then signing in with user name and password. Under the surgery related column after you sign in, click on I've got a date and it will let you change it.  I'm doing very well, down about 22 pounds, probably more but I only weigh myself once weekly. Are you on any medications that are proton pump inhibitors like protonix for the ulcers? i was on this before my surgery but was told not to take it anymore, and am on prilose****il I finish that bottle. After that I take nothing. I was eight years postop almost to the day when I had my revision, but had regained about 30 lbs do to the ulcer.
