vent post; perforated ulcer
I (27F) had my bypass April 18th 2025, and with this past friday, i experienced the worst pain of my life. i thought it was the extreme nausea since i recently started prozac but it would not go away.
my sister takes me to the ER and they tell me that it can be a ulcer or an infection. which it was both, they told me a lot of puss and blood was sitting where it wasn’t supposed to with my intestines.
i just got discharged a couple of hours ago, and i have to take so many medications for the infection and making sure my drain hole closes up.
it was just very scary, im glad i went when i did since i was waiting for it to pass for like two hours prior to going to the ER.
i wonder if my back pain was related to that. it was going on for a week or so, and that was one of the symptoms. its so hard to gauge out pain from your stomach or just the rapid weight loss and your body is trying to keep up with activity.
so if you feel off, please go to your doctor. it can just happen abruptly.
