My worry is now that I might have ulcers because one of these ones was for acid reflux but I haven’t been having any. Anyone have any suggestions? The pharmacist things I should start it up again. It’s called lansoprazole? Any advice would be helpful if you stopped this medication.

Why did you stop? How far out are you? My surgeon just put me on Pantoprazole and I don't plan on stopping it as that can cause rebound reflux.

I spoke with my surgeon before I stopped taking my PPI. I also stopped early because of the research again the long term use of these meds. I did not have reflux or GERD prior so it was merely routine or precautionary in my case.

Speaking with your Team is the best choice.

Can I ask how much you take? I'm 5 weeks out from surgery and I've been back of the same med. I'm still having trouble with my stomach feeling upset at times.

I take 40 mg before breakfast.

I take 40 in the am and night. I couldn't take it for 13 days after surgery and I'm trying to be consistent in taking it faithfully on an empty stomach. Still have some gurgling in my tummy.
