I take Nexium for two weeks every 3 months or so, when I find myself getting hungry again.

I'm almost 5 years out and I need to take it daily. If I don't take it, I get false hunger pains. I feel so much better on it. :)

Same here - nearly 5 years out and still taking a PPI daily.  Not happy about it (interferes with absorption of calcium and iron, both of which require an acidic environment), but it's better than the alternative.

I still take 20mg of Protonix at 2 years out.  Don't know if I'll ever get off it.

Nope.  If I get heartburn, I pop a pepcid and that takes care of it.  But even that has been very rare in the past few years.

At 3.5 years out I take 20 mg of Protonix each morning. When I don't take it, I'm miserable!
