WishMeSmaller 1,274 Posted October 7, 2020 Did/Does your surgeon have you on a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) post-operatively? Mine had me continue my Nexium for about 6 weeks and I had about a week early on where I was on double dosing. Either way, you should probably contact your surgeon and let them know about your continuing difficulties. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
catwoman7 11,221 Posted October 7, 2020 I agree with the poster above - I'd contact the surgeon's office as well. Mine had us on a PPI for a year, but that was five years ago, before they discovered that long-term PPI use could be hazardous. I think he has the patients on them for just three months now - that seems to be pretty common. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DwGirl 94 Posted February 16, 2021 Hello its been 6 months and my acid reflux has improved greatly, I have not had an episode in over 2 months but I do still take one PPI daily. I was told by my surgeon that after this month I should be able to discontinue my PPI. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was told by my surgeon that after this month I should be able to discontinue my PPI. I already know I cant get off of mine at this point. I dont understand how I can be sitting up right but feel like I am on fire some days. What PPI do you take ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
