If you were prescribed a PPI after surgery, how long were you on it? Did you have a difficult time when trying to stop? Hoping to stop mine within the next week and have read some horror stories of "rebound" acid reflux that can last for some time. I was taking Prevacid 30 twice a day, but reduced to once a day two weeks ago. That caused nausea and heartburn for a bit. Nervous to get off the last pill.

I took mine for about 6 months. No issues going off.

Had it for one month post op. No issues after stopping it.

No issues stopping, for me my PPI was causing my refux!

I went cold turkey with no issues, however the surgeon suggested that i have a bottle of gaviscon handy so that when i do start to experience a burn, it controls it until my body adjusts on its own

4 months.

@ glad your reflux issue was figured out
