Hello,
Usually, we do advise to continue taking pantoprazole until you go for surgery as recommended by your doctor.
Yes, should continue taking pantoprazole. However, there are other medications you should stop taking prior surgery as per the protocol provided by your surgeon.
Discuss this further with your caring doctor and surgeon.
