does anyone know if you can have the procedure done with motility inside of normal limits?

my LES pressure is 12.7 so idk if im a candidate.

anyone knows what's the criteria for the surgery?

I know with the esophyx you must have a HH no bigger than 2cm and a strong swallowing reflex.
The Linx requires no HH and a strong swallowing reflex.
