My husband is on 30mg Lansoprazole each evening - however, I believe each surgeon/oncologist varies as to what is prescribed post surgery so you will need to be guided by them.

All the best for your op. Kate

Im on 20 morn and evening. Unfortunately we still get reflux after also take Gaviscon adv at bedtime. You will need to sleep at 45 degs so good pillows required.

Good Luck

Debbie

It may well depend on the exact details of the surgery and how much stomach acid you system generates after the operation. It is not unusual for the medication to be adjusted or fin tuned afterwards.
