My WLS was Dec 06. I still find that if I stop taking my prescription strength prevacid I start experincing pain and/or discomfort. I can go several weeks without discomfort but when it comes it is sort of pretty bad. I have had no other issues with my WLS. I achieved goal within a year and have never felt better. Anyone else still take prevacid after so long? I dont mind taking the prevacid but just wondering if anyone else can relate.

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

prevacid is also an antiulcer med, so i think it may be a good thing to continue to take this even if you don't have any issues.....

my point of view...

LOL,
