I have had heartburn and since October have been on Omeprazole. It worked immediately. I take it daily. The other day my prescription ran out so i thought I would give it a couple of days and see if I get it back.

Boy oh Boy did I ever. The next morning when I woke up I couldnt get to the chemist fast enough. I will ask my Dr at my next app next year, he is off till end of January....but do you think that means these tablets will have to be taken for life or should I be on another tablet or what?? I know I read a few ppl had heartburn etc and after going on a tablet for a bit it went away...should I expect mine will go or only by taking a tablet daily?

Thanks for advice in advance.

I've wondered the same thing. After the last few fills, I've started taking a reflux medication too. While I don't feel overfilled at the moment, I get reflux horribly if I don't take it. I was thinking that perhaps though, after I reach goal and have a bit of fill removed to maintain rather than lose, that might help?

I started to have reflux especially in the late night and early morning, soon after I had a my last fill. I held out for two months before I went back and had some removed. After I had the fill removed, I have been fine since.
