I had a VSG on 13 Dec 2012 at TWH.  I was prescribed Mylan-pantoprazole for 42 days with no refills.  I keep on readin how some were prescribed Prevacid for about 6 months?  What did the rest of you get from TWH?  

Thx!  Sylvie

I had my surgery at TWH on Nov 29th 2012....had a 6 week script for Prevacid...no refills! But I will be on the watch and if I need it again I will go to my GP and get him to give me a new prescription.

Thanks!  Wondering why I only got it for 42 days!  Lot of ppl seem to not feel well after they are done & have to start the Prevacid again!!

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.

I was given it for 39 days. I still had reflux issues so I am still on it. If you have any issues let them know and them will give you more. After about 6 months they did a scope just to make sure no ulcer
