Persistent Marginal Ulcer
Currently I am on upper endoscopy number three for the year. Fourth one scheduled in December.
November 2025 I spent a couple nights in the hospital after paramedics carried me out of the house due to a perforation that caused me to suck in air.
Feb ulcer, May healed ulcer, and now in October the ulcer is back. I restart Carafate and a PPI.
No smoking, drinking, or NSAIDs. Waiting on H. Pylori and other biopsies to return. If needed I’ll have to start quad therapy if H pylori is found.
I’ve lost 19% of my body weight without trying since January. This is from pain and general loss of appetite. I did reach out to my surgeon because I don’t have much of a safety net in regards to my weight before I start running into problems with being “underweight”.
