Did/Does your surgeon have you on a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) post-operatively? Mine had me continue my Nexium for about 6 weeks and I had about a week early on where I was on double dosing.

Either way, you should probably contact your surgeon and let them know about your continuing difficulties.

I agree with the poster above - I'd contact the surgeon's office as well. Mine had us on a PPI for a year, but that was five years ago, before they discovered that long-term PPI use could be hazardous. I think he has the patients on them for just three months now - that seems to be pretty common.

Has your Gerd/Reflux cleared up? I had revision surgery in May and still have Gerd and am still on my PPI !!!

Hello its been 6 months and my acid reflux has improved greatly, I have not had an episode in over 2 months but I do still take one PPI daily. I was told by my surgeon that after this month I should be able to discontinue my PPI.

I already know I cant get off of mine at this point. I dont understand how I can be sitting up right but feel like I am on fire some days. What PPI do you take ?
