I might have a marginal ulcer. What is it? How did I get it?

I was not able to eat chewed up chicken or eggs...It was very painful. My surgeon said I might have a marginal ulcer. I thought we didn't produce stomach acids anymore? He said there is new research that disputes that and more surgeons now are recommending, Zantac, Pepcid...post op. So what exactly is this thing?
