Guest guest Posted October 4, 2002 Report Share Posted October 4, 2002 Try Zantec for the acid/heartburn. I buy a generic brand at Sam's Wholesale and get twice as many for less money and it works just fine. I take one in the morning and one in the evening. It controls my acid reflux quite well. ===== judy in austin 5'9 " of wild Texas redhead SRVG 5/99 380 lbs Ext.

Guest guest Posted October 4, 2002 Report Share Posted October 4, 2002 My doc uses Prevacid or Prilosec. Prilosec works for me very well. I had real ulcers pre-op, in the duodenum, at the esophagus, here, there everywhere (nope, never had h.pylori). In the olden days of whole stomach, they used Zantac, but since my WLS (8yrs ago tomorrow), I've had marginal ulcer several times. The Prilosec seems to beat it into submission if I get started right away. m ulcers as a post-op??? > > > > > > > Hi all, > > > > > > I am 2-1/2 years post op RNY and I think I have an ulcer.
