Just found out I've developed an gastric ulcer has anyone found this too?

I'm 46 days post-op and have had a really bad time. I had open gastric bypass on July 1, 2002. To this day I can't eat and drinking is limited too sips of water, ice and popscicles. The other day I had a scope done and they found a large gastric ulcer. This was my second scope down in 2 weeks. the first one they had to open the tube from the stomach to the intestines. Also, during my surgery, my surgeon fixed 7 hernias and I've developed a large mass about the size of a grapefruit on the lower part of my abdomen. Had a CT Scan done today to try and find out what it is because I'm developing a slight fever and the area is sore and getting red and warm to touch. Has anyone ever had this much problems. I feel this will never end. I'm weak and feel miserable. My surgeon don't have a clue what he's suppose to do and just keeps sending me home with phenagrin and oxycodone and says it'll get better. I finally contacted a gastroentreologist who found the ulcer and trying to help find out what the mass is. I don't have a support group except all of you. And could use the advice. I don't even know what type of tests I should be having done because my surgeon didn't seem to know. Not to mention I've already been to the hospital now twice since my surgery. Once for an infection and stayed 3 days on IV's and another for dehydrating. Which I'm probably gonna have to go back in again soon. Well I best hush now.
