 Have any of you VSG people ever had this problem, what were your symptoms and how was it resolved?

Better ask on the VSG board

I had anastomotic ulcers after my RNY, which were described to me as "traumatic" ulcers vs peptic/acid ulcer.  I did not have VSG, so I would probably refer to VSG people, but mine were treated with Carafate (icky liquid meds that were designed to coat the stomach/ulcer to allow healing/prevent further damage).  I hope that helps, good luck and feel better!

 Have you contacted your primary or your surgeon at all? That's the first step. The symptoms could be anything. I was having difficulty eating, pain, and nausea. I was also having narrowing at the anastomosis, which resulted in a collection of food turning into a bezoar (calcified food bolus that was blocking the outlet to get rid of food). The flu symptoms could be unrelated. Please see your doctor to get it sorted out. Good luck!
