A peptic ulcer is a small sore or lesion that forms in the stomach lining or that of the duodenum, the first part of your intestine. Most ulcers are due to an infection caused by a Helicobacter pylori infection and are treated with antibiotics, plus drugs that reduce the acid level in the stomach to help with healing.Thanks to advances in ulcer treatment, surgery for ulcers is seldom necessary outside of an emergency situation. So nice try,but you will have to try something else.

Absolutely correct. Surgery hasn't been necessary for most ulcers for at least 40 years. However, a case where there is blood loss is serious, and would require more than an overnight stay, if it was serious enough to admit him in the first place.
