That is great that you caught it in time....and way to go on the weight loss thus far!

Kevin, I just have to tell you that I LOVE your positive spirit! Even when you're not feeling good, you seem to be able to look on the bright side of things and it makes me feel good. I'm thrilled that your ulcer is starting to get better, and I can hardly believe that you've lost 60 pounds already! That's incredible! Whoo hoo!!! You are my hero! Deb

WOW ! Sound like things are workin out great for you ! Just wanted to say way to go !

Hi Kevin! Good to hear that they got it in time and you are doing so well. WOW - 60 pounds gone! That is so awesome. I am so happy for you!!! Keep up the good work and the great attitude. You're doing amazing!

Hey Kevin, they gave me an EGD yesterday because everything was making me nauseated. Turns out I have an ulcer, too - pretty much in the same place as yours! I was taking Prilosec; but sometimes it doesn't work for some people. My doc switched me to Nexium, so hopefully that'll work. He did a biopsy, so we'll see if I need antibiotics or anything else. How long did it take for you to be able to eat without getting sick after you started your meds? Congrats on your awesome progress
