i'm on my 4th month post op,and my doc cut me off acid reducer last wednesday...

so far i have no issues, no reflux or anything, only a little more hunger,

or should i say head-hunger,but it is only a little and manageable.

is there anything else i should expect?

I honestly don't know if there is any standard answer. I hope you don't suffer ANY digestive problems. Keep us posted.

hopefuly if you've made it 3 days with no issues your in the clear..... keeping my fingers crossed for you.

I've never had any reflux or anything, but missed my prevacid yesterday and am sitting here at 5 am with reflux. Annoying! Guess I'm not ready to be done yet.

Anna,

I am still taking my ppi, but I plan to stop at 12 weeks. My understanding is we have to put up with a little rebound effect for about a week. It may be worth sticking it out. I don't know though because I haven't tried. When I do forget.... I get acid!!!!! Probably best to ask your doc.

Yeah I think I'm gonna hang on for a bit, in the beginning I didn't think I would need it at all but was getting lots of false hunger and the doctor ended up having me take it morning and night, so....I think I'm gonna keep taking it for a couple more months and then we'll see.
