Guest guest Posted November 15, 2002 Report Share Posted November 15, 2002 I have an ulcer, too. About 6 mos. post-op, my ulcer was just " there. " Since that time, I am on one Prevacid every morning and one Axid every evening. They seem to be helping and I have been on these meds a LONG time now. (my surg. was 6/20/01). Nobody has ever mentioned intervention via surgery though. Just through meds. Let me know what happens and good luck to you. Barb B. > Hi everyone, its been a little while since I have posted.
