Ppi

[alyssa_vsg 19]

Anyone whose taken a ppi post surgery, how long did you take it for? I'm 5 weeks post op and have been taking a ppi daily. I haven't had a chance to refill my prescription so I've gone without for the past two days and now I'm suffering from heartburn.

Obviously going to get the refill done now lol, but is this a temporary side effect or something I will need to get used to?

I took Prilosec for a few weeks but switched to Nexium (I believe) later because I found out Prilosec interacts with one of my antidepressants. I was on the PPI for a couple of months and I haven't had issues since I stopped taking it. It will likely get better for you as time goes by.

My doc has me on it for 2 months, my surgery was 9/25

I am 9 months out, and I didn't fill my script for 3 days. By day two the heartburn was waking me up at night. I have never really had heartburn prior to this surgery.

My doctor gives a one month prescription to start and extends it if needed. I needed and took for two months then was able to stop.
