Over last few days I've been unable to get in more than 2 bites of soft solids, or more than just sips of fluids. Also have a a sharp pain just left of my incision (RNY) made worse w/ bending or with touching it (feels hot and tender). But nothing looks red or swollen on my skin. No fever, chills.
Today's thinking of the bariatric staff is that I may have an ulcer, so I'm on carafate to hopefully relieve symptoms. (Already had a stricture at about 5 wks out. ) If I'm no better by the end of the week, will have another EGD to take a peak.
Any thoughts? Anyone else get a marginal ulcer post op?
It's a bit discouraging 'cuz I was really doing well with advancing my diet, exercising, even had started to run.........
