Hi all, I'm 13 days post op and I'm on 40mg...........I am having heartburn every evening. My doc not in til Monday just wondering how much everyone takes and any tips or hints you may have. Thanks

I'm 12 days post op and I started on 20mg omeprozole and was bumped to 40 after the first few days of bad heartburn. I take one pill first thing in the morning and the 2nd mid-afternoon and that has really worked for me. Hope your doc can help you out, I had it bad those first few post-op days and it was no fun so I sympathize.

I'm 5 days post op and am on Protonix...haven't had any indigestion problems at all

I've been on protonix 40mg twice a day since I was sleeved and I also have a couple tums before bed just to keep the reflux from happening at night. I'm now 2.5 months out

I took 40mg/ day for 2 months then down to 20mg for a month then stopped. In the beginning, Even with the 40mg, I took Maaloxx occasionally when I had a sour stomach (at the recommendation of OCC's followup doctor).

A friend of mine takes protonix because omeprazole does nothing for her.

I just went for my 2-month follow-up and they have taken me off Omeprazole as I do not need it anymore.

Thank you everyone for your input.... I appreciate all of your comments. Ruth
