Update from scope test

I had a scope test done yesterday to see if the pain I'm having was coming from an ulcer...and it is. Nice to know what it is now. The Dr thinks it may have come from my staples or h. pylori bacteria or a combination of both. He gave me lots of meds to take for awhile and things should clear up nicely he said. For 2 weeks I take 4 prevacid, 2 biaxin and 4 amoxicillin; then, for the next 75 days I take 2 prevacid and then for the next 90 days I take 1 prevacid. Surely that should clear the pipes - huh? I've added some 3 mo pix to my profile - check them out.

Wow that's alot of pills but at least you are on the path to recovery now. You look great what a difference 3 months can make.

Darn....Are you going to have room left to eat after all those pills.... Hope you start feeling better soon. Checked out your pics...Wow keep it up...Looking good.

Sheesh Tammy, it's time to change your avatar! You are looking SO good! Wow! I'm envious how thin you look now-you must be feeling wonderful! Sorry about the ulcer, but I'm glad it's being taken care of. Hopefully it'll be smooth sailing from here on out!

OMG!!! You look like a totally different person! I love the pix. Shar

Glad you're on the mend, and your new pics look fantastic, the weight loss really shows! My surgeon put me on Nexium 20mg "for life" as ulcer prevention. I wonder why docs do it so differently... At any rate, you look GRAND!

Tammy can you fully describe the pain so we know how it felt? This way if any of us are developing an ulcer we can remember what you went through.
