My surgeon's office has diagnosed me with an ulcer (over the phone) and given me medications to help heal and with the pain. It doesn't appear to be making a difference. Does anyone know what the next step is? I didn't ask my doctor yet, I imagine I will be calling him again. I'm 2.5 months out from surgery.

thanks

Carafate is NOT and antibiotic. Please research before you put info like that.
