Hi All
I am so happy to have found this forum - I have suffered with reflux for 3 years and have tried lots of different meds and am currently getting by (not brilliantly) with Ranitadine and gaviscon advance due to the severe side effects of most of the other prescribed meds.
I was supposed to be having a Nissen procedure on the 23rd June 2011 but since reading the article about the Linx have now deferred the above until the 1st September.
I am going to see Dr Ashton in Manchester tomorrow to discuss the Linx procedure as I felt it was a better option for me. One of my concerns is that having consulted with my NHS Surgeon I was advised that I do have a small hernia but he felt this would not hinder the procedure - fingers crossed!
Does anybody know how many Linx procedures have been carried out in the uk so far?
I look forward to hearing any feed back from those of you that have all ready received the Linx.
I will keep you posted on tomorrows outcome.
Best wishes to all.
Zill
