Question:
Has anyone had a stomach ulcer and had the surgery?

My surgeon said he couldn't do the surgery if one had an ulcer. I think
that is the standard of medical practice but it may be just the opinion of
my surgeon.

2 weeks before I had my surgery, I had an upper GI done. They found that I
had acid reflux really bad, an ulcer, and they had to stretch my esophagus.
But, my surgery date was never changed. I took Nexium (the purple pill)
up until my surgery day. I haven't had any problems since. --Shelly

My 65 yr old mother in law was super morbidly obese and had an extremely
bad ulcer. She had her surgery 4 mos ago. They cut out the ulcer at the
same time. She's doing great now!!

Hey, I have had a problem with ulcers on and off since I was 15yrs old. and
I now have gerd. so i was concerned about getting ulcers in my pouch and
also getting ulcers in the old stomach, so i asked the surgeon and he said
that drugs like nexium are systemic and treat the ulcers, they don't have
to directly touch them like say pepto bismal.
Okay, I hope this helps.
