Sylvie, most with VSG need it for at least 6 months. Not sure why TWH doesn't prescribe a PPI longer but most of the other centres all do 6 months minimum. 6 weeks sure doesn't sound like much but then again a few years ago TWH didn't even prescribe it at all. I'd definitely get more as you don't want to get acid reflux.
They didn't prescribe it to me at all almost two years ago. I asked about it at my one year, after hearing they now prescribe it, and they admitted they just added it to the schedule.
Not sure why they aren't doing it for you.
