Dr. Rasmussen and Scope Results

I see Dr. Rasmussen and he goes over the results of the scope. He wants to put me on Carafate for 3 weeks until I see him again. He says the pictures illustrate that there is some inflammation in the stomach and that the Carafate will help with this. He doesn’t want to change much more but agrees to up the protein shakes. He is very excited that so far the surgical anastomosis has stayed wide open and the surgery appears to be a success!

I am to continue taking the Welchol and add the Carafate. He says the next step might be to add in a probiotic if some of the symptoms don’t get any better. For now, just work on eating more to try and gain some weight and take the new medicines. I am to see him in three weeks for another follow up.
