Lap Band is coming out soon, possible revision to RNY after and I'm scared!!

I had bad reflux with the band but I didn't have it before the band.  Our center puts us on a PPI 2X a day for a year to make sure we control the acid.

Ahh, okay.

I was told to come off of my PPI because it decreases absorption of vitamins and minerals and such (which on top of an RNY would not be a good thing) and because my doctor said the longer I stayed on them, the harder it would be to stop taking them because the stomach produces more acid than it did before you started taking them once you stop taking them.
