Tigger,

I also have an ulcer and have had it from before WLS (Oct,2001). I had bursitis

in my hips and got the ulcer from long term NSAID use. I tested neg for H Pilori

(sp?). My surgeon took me off the ulcer meds at one year and after 4 days I knew

it was still there because one sip of water and I had pain in my stomach. I was

told that the ulcer meds were probably forever. My understanding is this is not

unusual for many of us to have ulcers. We just need to be careful and take our

meds, avoid all NSAIDs and see our Docs regularly.

Hope all goes well,

Thank you. I was wondering why it hurt when I only took a sip of

water. I guess that's part of it. Will they see the ulcer (if in

fact that's what the problem is) when they do the Upper GI? Also,

since I had my surger I've vomited a lot (also before surgery), could

this have lead to a problem? I'm also neg. for H. Pylori. Today is

day 2 of Nexium.... hope it works.

I do not believe an Upper GI discovers an ulcer. Mine were found by an

endoscopic exam.

Vitalady also responded with " Not usually with an Upper GI " . If they

believe it's ulcers, and it doesn't show up on an UGI, then does

anyone know why the heck they've ordered this test? I'm still in

pain, and I still have no answers, and in case you can't tell....my

patience is wearing pretty thing. Can anyone try to give me some

explanations.

Thanks,

Tigger
