Back from the Dr...not good--Updated
Just an FYI honey, smoking and caffiene are both BAD for an ulcer :(. I am seriously considering trying Chantix also. I need to make an appt with my PCP for labs and will discuss it with him. Since my new insurance is so much better, I think the most it would cost for the Chantix is $50 and it would be worth it if it helped.
My sister is a H pyolori carrier but has never had an ulcer.

The Chantix cost me $146 & it's a month's supply. BUT cigarettes cost me way more than that per month. Chantix isn't covered by my insurance but it's well worth the cost.
From what I read online about H Pylori we all have it in our stomachs, we just all don't get ulcers. It's a bacteria we all carry.

Jeri, I know this isn't what you wanted to hear but look at it as you were proactive and are going to take meds to keep it in check. Ulcers can happen to ANYONE, not just WLS.
