I was told to take Prilosec for 3 months post op. Has anyone else had this? What are your experiences with Prilosec?

I was given the prescription when I left the hospital. I was wondering why? Is it normal procedure? Is it preventative?

My program prescribes Protonix, but since I was already on omeprazole they said to keep taking it. I had heartburn all my life until I started taking it a couple of years ago.
