Bye Atorvastatin. My PCP said I could stop taking this. After my surgery I can also stop Pantoprazole.

Toodles,

Pantoprazole is a proton pump inhibitor used treat GERD. Atorvastatin is statin used to treat high cholesterol and triglyceride levels.

I had severe acid reflux prior to my RNY gastric bypass surgery and that condition went into remission after my surgery. I am over 5 years post-op and it is still in remission. The first year after surgery, my surgeon prescribed Omeprazole (OTC Prilosec). This is normally used to treat severe acid reflux (Gerd) but the reason he prescribed it was to give my stomach time to heal properly. But after the first year, then I went off Prilosec and haven't taken any since.

I had high blood pressure after surgery and was taking 2 prescription meds to treat that condition. My blood pressure returned to normal levels within the first month after surgery and I went off all my high blood pressure meds.

Good luck on your upcoming surgery.
