The endoscopy showed my stoma was wide open, and I have an ulcer.

Has anyone had a problem with the stoma being wide open? The reason I requested the endoscopy, was because I was fustrated that I could eat more than I usually could, and have gained 15 pounds. I just never feel full long. They told me when they were doing the endoscopy, that I was lucky I had it done, as they found the ulcer. I'm suprised I got an ulcer when I've been on Previcid daily for about a year now. The Dr. doing the endoscopy said they can do a revision. I guess I want to know what to expect, surgery wise, approval wise (I have the same insurance) and if anyone else has had it, tell me your story.
