I enquired with a clinic about this and they won't take you on if you have Barrett's (and my Barretts is tiny) - so doesn't that reduce the target market significantly?

MMM-

Maybe they are still waiting to see how well it does controlling barretts before they feel it cab be ab option for this,. It is still relatively nre vs. the nissen type surgeries that have been around since something like the 50's I think.

Take care,

Let's hope for an approval date within the next few months

Im sure that people in England are just holding out until it gets approved for their national healthcare system. If it gets approved in the U.S. I bet people will be lining up out the door for it!

I'm so looking forward to this....let's keep our fingers crossed....I wonder if it does get approved if insurances will cover it?
