My surgeons have now put all of their postops on either Aciphex or Prevacid

" forever " . They are finding that not only do we have acid, but because the

pouch is so small, the acid doesn't have as much room to disperse/dilute. One

postop ended up in the ER with 2 perforated ulcers and peritonitis and within an

hour they had her in the OR completely redoing her surgery (and she was only

7 months postop and had NO symptoms beforehand!). My surgeon said they had

read a study about it as well.

Thanks Fay. I have been on Prilosec since the beginning.... and

before. The doctor switched me to Nexium. He says that sometimes

there is just enough of a different chemical make up between the meds

that one might work where the other doesn't. Seems strange that my

meds for depression stopped working around the same time. Needless to

say, I'm in pain AND depressed. Not a great combo. Thank you for

responding so quickly.

He didn't say. He did say that he was " confused " by it all. It even

hurts when I take a sip of water. I can feel the water go down, and

when it hit the stomach (pouch, or whatever) the pain gets worse. Not

good, because I don't want to put anything in my mouth at this poin,

including water. I have an Upper GI scheduled for Monday. Hopefully

that will tell us something.

You can develop ulcers from aspirin or other NSAID anti-inflammatory

drugs. I developed two ulcer from my gout medication.

I haven't been taking any NSAIDs or aspirin. I've had a history of

ulcers in the past, and they have been banned for me for a long time.

At one time I had three ulcers in various parts of my stomach. Thanks

though Ray, I appreciate your input.

Well, I guess I've got a few more meds to try.... I've tried the

Prevacid, and Prilosec and neither seemed to work well. Now we're

trying the Nexium. I hope this helps. It's awful when you drink a sip

of water and it feels like an atomic bomb going off inside you!

Thanks for the info, I wasn't aware that there were that many

occurrences. It lessens the confusion a little.

This sounds so much like when I had an intestinal hernia/kink/twist.

Has he ruled that out?

Wouldn't that have shown up on the CT scan? I don't really know. I'm

pretty frustrated. There have been times in the past month that I

truly wished I hadn't had the surgery.
