I will admit that I have become very biased against ppi's. The rebound effect when they wear off is 10 times what the pain was that got me to take them in the first place. That said, for the first 3 months post-op, take what you need to take to heal.
Once you are healed and eating mostly regular food, you may want to consider how to get off your ppi. I tried orange peel oil capsules (d-Limonene) after a variety of efforts to decrease my dependence on Zantac and Omeprazole. It is not a symptom treatment for when you have active heartburn, but rather a therapy to change how your motility and stomach acid work. I took 1000 mg every other night for 20 nights and managed to stop all other meds. I now take my orange oil twice a week and am good all night without heartburn. Check it out...if you don't want to take ppi's forever.
