I have been on Omeprazole for over 5 years now, it works well, why transition off of it? I had an esophagectomy with partial gastrectomy and a pull through for esophageal cancer at the junction. I know my anatomy is a little different, just wondered why if it is working for you.

I’ve been on Prevacid my entire adult life. 27 years. Slowly transitioning off. I’m scared.

Omeprazole has recently been linked to Osteoarthritis. This can happen even after 1 year or less of use.
