Various options: Let your surgeon know about the ulcer and your experience with ibuprofen. There are various medications both over the counter and prescriptions that are effective for managing ulcers these include antacids, proton pump inhibitors, histamine 2 blockers. Please review your options with your doctor. Be sure to complete what regimen is recommended. Good luck with your surgery.

Nsaids: There are several modalities on how to treat an ulcer; your dr will choose the best option for you. Most likely you will be prescribed analgesic that do not affect your stomach, if you describe what happened to the surgeons. Diet will be of course part of the treatment, but there is more.
