How long were you on an acid reducer?

I'm going to be on it for at least a year.  I was expecting to come off of Prilosec at my 6 month appointment, but my surgeon kept me on it.  I see him next at the one year mark, and I'll ask about it then.  

Cleveland Clinic keeps all WLS patients on an acid reducer for 6 months after surgery.  It's been shown to lessen the chances of ulcers in the critical healing time.
