Hi Dawg....it's been more than three years since your last post...so you would be 3 years and a half post op since your linx surgery. I hope you're still doing great and that your improvement has...
Hi all, Basically, I'm totally baffled. Why on earth would the only good day coincide with my PH-Impedance testing? I've been having GERD symptoms for years, and recently LPR, quite severely. I was...
Hi there...I saw your old post and wanted to check if you actually went ahead with the Linx procedure. I'm not sure if you will receive notifications, if you do can you please tell us how much it...
I actually have a degree of all of these symptoms (they call them extra heartburn symptoms). I never paid attention to them thinking they were side effects of PPIs ( well they are in a way!). In...
Hi k_dawg, it's been three months since you had your Linx done; how is the healing going? I hope you're feeling much better now. Do you mind me asking what your main complaint was before surgery,...
I read through your blog and found it very interesting that you could tolerate the acid rebound for so long after cutting the PPI. What I really wanted to ask you is how were you able to tolerate...
Interesting that the same thing happened to me when I took a more potent PPI. So where you able to successfully wean off the PPI? Did the LPR improve afterwards?...
Hi Everyone, I came across this news, which might be interesting to those who are thinking about doing the Linx procedure and are hesitant to do so because of the risk of not being able to be scanned...
Hi SuejayUK, I'm interested in your theory about low stomach acid. Indeed I feel the same (that the right balance of acid in the stomach has to be struck) but i have not tried the apple cider...
Hello Menus, A saw your posts from a few months ago and saw that you were considering undergoing the Linx. So have you done it yet? I'm curious to know if the went ahead with it....
Thanks Erica for sharing your experience with this awful illness. Indeed I know my wife had gerd during her pregnancy and it was difficult. Lucky for her that she recovered immediately after labor....
Does anyone think the long recovery (i.e, the 6+ months time needed to experience improvment) is actually nothing but I general improvment of the course of the desease (a remission period?) I to me...
Hi Bill, I'm also very interested to know how you're doing now and if antibiotics gave you sustained releaf. I hope you're doing good I wish you good health....
Hi WJF, It's great to hear you got GERD under control...I also had long periods of remission during my 5 year battle with GERD...I guess people sometimes become complacent about the lifestyle...
Hi thanks for your insight again...I used to have classic GERD for the past 5 years until this month it progressed to LPR due to bad lifestyle choices. I get sore throat, lump feeling, difficult...
Hi Carcalif! This is great news...30% to 50% improvement is quite significant! And it's also great to know the side effects were temporary! I know you said the two months were difficult, but if this...
Hello fellow gerders, Is it common to progress from GERD to LPR? Has anyone experienced such a turn in their course of disease? Did it calm down and go back to normal GERD? I used to have GERD only...
Hello Carcalif, It's been about three months since you've done your Stretta. I'm really curious as to how you're feeling now. You said at 6 weeks you had a worsening on Gerd symptoms. Are these still...
