LINX REFLUX SURGERY

Hello everybody,

I'm French and there is no LINX REFLUX SURGERY branche in France apparently. After a little bit of research I came across the website
http://linxrefluxsurgery.com/about-linx/what-is-linx
which I've found very instructive so far. There are two clinics in the UK, one in Manchester, the other one is in London. Anyway...

I've been thinking for years about undergoing the Nissen surgery, but to me it's always sounded a mistake (after all the horrible stories I read on several forums). I've been having this feeling of a lump in the throat for years and it's literally driving me nuts, not be able to speak normally, to swallow and so on.

Today the linx surgery seems kind of a breakthrough compared to Nissen and the usual inefficient medication.

Could anyone having undergone this surgical intervention give some feedback to this thread cause I really am considering it and willing to travel all the way to Manchester or London just to do it.

Things I'd like to know: the price and if it's been efficient so far of course.

yeah the lump in the throat thing is awful...i too have been living with it on and off (mostly on) for a long long time.

i read and posted here at healingwell a link several months ago about an article that discuses outcome and costs for the linx procedure in italy. i will look for the comment and it may well be in the thread that Kitt posted about in the comment above.

bottom line is, in euros the cost was cited (procedure done at a university in milano i believe) around 4000 euros, this was about one year ago.

converting to british pounds and considering that the UK has a national health care service, sounds like the cost is competitive with fundoplication and or might be even lower in cost

Hello and welcome to HealingWell.  I love your country and am proud to say I am 3/4 French as my Grandparents were French Canadians.
