I still can't eat after seven months. Anyone had this problem?
I'm seven months post-op lost 85lbs but can't eat anything with substance. A month or so after the surgery I could eat small amounts of many foods. In January I started having abdominal pain on my right side (really on side not stomache). After many test they determined that I had a marginal ulcer. I had an Endoscopy and was put on Protinex and Carafate. I felt much better and could eat some if I really chewed it up. Now things have gotten worse again. I had another Endoscopy and they said the ulcer was healing and did another dilation. Said I would be fine. I still can't eat anything other that liquids or something that becomes liquified as I chew it. I've been told it is definitely not my gallbladder. Today I have intense lower right side (area I think your appendix is in) pain, abdominal pain right side back and of course still can't eat. The doctors can't seem to figure it out. What do you think it might be? Thanks.
