Anyone need revision from MGB due to ulcers?

Hello,

I have developed ulcers and erosive esophagitis and had the mini gastric bypass in 2008. Has anyone had had MGB converted to RNY and had the ulcers not return?

Be careful with your expectations as revision from MGB to RNY may not resolve your ulcer issues. I've been reading that the rate of ulcers for MGB and RNY patients is equivalent.

The best way to prevent/heal peptic ulcers are to:

• Get tested for H. Pylori bacteria
• Avoid NSAIDs (aspirin, ibuprofen)
• Avoid smoking
• Avoid alcohol
• Avoid/limit carbonated beverages
• Avoid/limit coffee
• Avoid/limit caffeine
• Steroids may lead to ulcers, as well as medications to treat osteoporosis

Hi, The revision would be MGB to gastroplasty

( sleeve that is already there). I'm wanting to remove the bypass due to ulcers, possible SIBO and terrible malabsorption. Looking for others who may have these problems. No h pylori/ was tested.

What antibiotics help SIBO, are the dude effects bad?
