Jeronimo, I'm sure that's possible but I don't think I'll be going any further with it. I think if mine were any tighter it might cause too much problem swallowing. When I first had this thing I was...
Hello Everyone. Let me reintroduce myself. I was on this forum a year or so ago. My computer crashed and I dropped out and sort of forgot about this forum. Anyhoo, I was/am involved in the clinical...
Speden, Yes I can swallow big wads of food now as if I didn't have this thing. I'm supposed to have my one year followup battery of tests in July or August. I'll do any of the tests they want except...
Hello everyone. I finally deciced to check in again. My situation hasn't changed since the last time I was here. I'm sorry to learn of some other's troubles. Julie, I'm flattered that you asked my...
Couchtater, I don't think I'll go for any other surgery. I get along just fine with Nexium. I took part in this study mainly for my own selfish reasons. One: If it worked I got it for free. Two: I'd...
Shooz and others, I had a long and boring diatribe going and it disappeared. So the short version is I still have reflux and am back on Nexium. My trial is obviously a failure. I'll leave the Linx in...
Rummaan, Thanks for asking. I have indigestion quite regularly now, nearly every day. My bracelet has hardly any affect on swallowing and apparently very little on my reflux. It may be that it is too...
Alcie The Linx magnetic bracelet is done laproscopically. I went home as soon as I sobered up from the anesthesia. Hardly any soreness. Unlike some other procedures for GERD it is completely...
Anthony09, There's two of us that I know of on here who have the linx. Shooz is the other. I had mine done in August. Some foods, mostly bread, caused some swallowing difficulty for a few weeks. Now...
Shooz, I have very little trouble swallowing now. No, no lump in my throat or any thing else to gripe about except I keep having mild indigestion nearly every day. Hooray for Rolaids. I guess my...
Gilad: My heartburn/reflux/indigestion whatever it is happens usually around midnight and I eat a rolaid and it goes away. It's not a great pain by any stretch but is enough to cause sleep...
Hello Shooz, Good to hear you're doing well. It has been several weeks since I've had any problem swallowing. As I said before a few times things wanted to hang in my craw if not chewed really well,...
Couchtater, Glad things went well. I hope your life will be a lot more pleasant now. I came through Albany about 8:00 this morning coming home from a visit to Atlanta (a place I once lived and loved...
Thanks and a Merry Christmas to you too :) ...
Couchtater, No, I went to Phoebe-Putney (Dr. Smith). I think Bagnato is at Palmyra. I could be wrong; I was once before. :) Good luck with your surgery and keep us updated. Two Dogs P. S. I went back...
Shooz, So far I haven't brought anything back up. There's been a couple of times I wish could when it gets stuck. I'm not sure if I could. The only time I vomited was a little bit on the way home...
Hi Shooz, I was the last one my Dr. did. I asked him did he save me for last so he could sober up. He said no that he was sober by ten that morning and he just saved the best for last. LOL. When I...
Gilad, I was taking Nexium daily for years. The Nexium was doing an excellent job but I just wanted to take part in this to maybe help my fellow man (and also get a free operation to get off high...
Hi Gilad, I have had indigestion and reflux about all my adult life. (I'm now an old geezer of 66) When I learned of this trial close to home (Albany, Georgia) I jumped on it. I went through all the...
Hello Shooz, Excuse me for butting in. I have just now stumbled across this forum. I have been trying to find someone else who had the Linx procedure. My surgeon would not give any information on...
