When I spoke with Dr. Starr at 6 months he said try without it but if I need it to ask my family doctor, 3 weeks later back on it and feeling better.

I still take it and I am almost 15 months out. Have had reflux since 17yr. While I don't get the reflux I get the pain. I did have a scope done and no ulcer. If taking Prevacid works I don't mind taking it

My surgeon only prescribed it for 2 months, so I've been off it for almost a month now. My GP did say to come to her if I felt I needed to go back on it, and she could easily write me a new prescription. So far, so good!

You need to be taking it for a minimum of 3-6 months for ulcer prevention. You should get back on it immediately.

I had OHIP approved Duodenal Switch surgery with Dr. Dennis Hong at St. Joseph's Hamilton on March 7th, 2012. Want more information on the DS in Ontario? Send me a private message!

I asked my NP at my 1-month follow-up, and she said that some surgeons are actually not blanket prescribing it for more than a couple of months now, because there are risks to long-term use. I will look into it again, though! I don't want to get an ulcer.

I wasn't given any when I had my surgery almost two years ago! They introduced that at TWH after I had my surgery. As much as having pain was not fun, i'm glad I had a scope in the fall and they said my pouch is perfect. Of course I have no idea what the blind part of my stomach looks like!

Dr. Klein said that I didn't need to take it after 6 months. I suppose that if I didn't feel well without it I could get a script from my gp. I am ok without it and my Milk of magnesia tablets are also an antacid so they settle my stomach down if needed.

I had the sleeve, and I was told that I would be on a acid reflux drug for the rest of my life, I also need to take NSAIDS so it is used as a precaution to protect stomach
