anglov LAP-BAND Patients January 13, 201115 yr Author stats Hey Congrats! I remember when I had the surgery I no longer needed my reflux meds. Having said that, a few months after the procedure I had a month of really bad sliming episodes and my esophagus was irritated and I had heartburn again. Tums was not cutting it. I went back on Protonix and skipped my fill that month. I only took it for two weeks but I will now keep the meds on hand as a precaution. I have found that tums or rolaids just doesn't help as well as just taking a Protonix when I feel it coming on. It is nips it right away. I have only taken 2 Protonix since then and that was a few months ago. Just a little insight from my situation.
finallyncontrol LAP-BAND Patients January 14, 201115 yr Author stats It is an amazing thing to go off of medications isn't it!! I would tend to agree with Anglov and keep the med handy just to be on the safe side!! I never went off my heartburn medication. I want to state that there is a VERY SMALL % of people who do not go off of their medications I am that person. So since I am that minority the rest of you don't have to worry! LOL Even my surgeon said that I am his only patient that didn't come off at least one medication!!
