You should ask why they have not prescribed you prevacid or another PPI. A PPI is the best way to prevent ulcers in the first 6 months post-op.

 Ok so are you talking about the blood thinner prescribed before you go to the hospital? I know at HRRH its called tinzaparitine (sp). 
If you are with HRRH you only have to take that as long as you are in the hospital it ranges between 80-200, it is a shot you give yourself.

I had my surgery in October I got prevacid and perks as I already had the stool softener at home. I don't have coverage so I spent $106 I think.

was prevacid perscribed to people who have had the history of having ulcers? I have never ever had to take any ulcer medication before not even tums, I had slight heartburn during the 3rd trimester of my two pregnancies but never really took anything for it. So maybe it is just given to people with a history of an ulcer? still confused.. I think I am going to call TWH.
