Can HCG Drops Be Taken For Weight Loss While Suffering From Duodenal Ulcer?

I take protonix for a bleeding duodenal ulcer I had several years ago,but continue to take this for the rest of my life, s I lost half of my blood and had to have an Angio-seal performed. I am wondering if it is okay to take the HCG drops for a diet I would like to go on and would it effect the ulcer at all?
