Thanks for your query. Besides your medicines you need to improve your dietary habits. I advised you the following
• Capsule Lansoprazole 30 mg (1+1) half hour before meal
• Tablet Demperiodone 10 mg (1+1) fifteen minutes before meal
In addition to this you also
• Take 2-3 sips of milk after every hour
• Avoid spicy and chilly foods
• Avoid coffee and alcoholic drinks
• Avoid citrus fruits
• Banana , melon and watermelon are very good for you to neutralize the acidity
• Walk is necessary for you particularly at night after meal
• Never go to bed immediately after food
• Avoid constipation by taking some fibrous food. For this watermelon is suitable for you.
I would also advise you to take some mild tranquilizers like Alprazolam 0.25 mg at bed time
If you don’t get relief,plz let me know on pakheim@gmail.com pakheim@yahoo.com
Hoping that you will get benefit from my advice.
My prayers are with you.
Thanks and best regards.

Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
In my opinion still there is no need of surgery as conservative treatment can cure this condition.
Endoscopy ( fresh report) will adjudge the exact nature of erosion if any in the effected parts.
In my opinion consult one more Gastro-enterologist and get his opinion ( 2nd one).
Sometimes change of medicine may cure you.
Good luck.
