opnwhl4: All I know is that my doctor asked for a Barium swallow and endoscopy. This was enough for a toupet fundo. I will be looking into the numbing process. It's just hard to get make fair...
On the Day Before Your Procedure To ensure the most accurate results possible, it is important that you do not eat or drink anything after midnight on the day before your procedure, unless you are...
For the 270 a barium swallow will be sufficient according to the doctor. 360 would be a different matter I guess. I just asked him if I shouldn't do the ph bravo first. I told him that I wouldn't...
That's interesting. I'm planning my Linx in the UK but the pre tests will be done in Thailand where i can do a 24 or 48 Bravo. Sadly enough that doesn't help with the manometry. I'm really doubting...

Thanks for the info Like you suggested, i have been to the torax site and called a couple of clinics but couldn't get any info about prices over the phone. Now, I'm waiting for my medical records so...
Hi Pat, Tnx for your input and best wishes back. I have done the search you suggested and was able to weed out some prices and other information. However, I think that a thread that purely...
Hi all, I'm finally setting things in motion to get the linx procedure done. Sadly enough I have to pay out of pocket. I live in Thailand (can't be done here to my knowledge) and have to find a...
after spending a couple of hours reading the comments I realize that there is another option that might suite me better. The idea of no burping sounds like horror. The LINX Reflux Management System...
Hi all, I'm a 42 year old male living in Asia. I've been having symptoms of GERD for over 20 years now, but never knew what it meant until a few years ago. I've tried everything from life style...
