My friend had this done in Europe and he said he never had a problem again.
I had it done and it did me no good. My gerd symptoms were just as bad, and I had a bunch of chest pain along with new digestive problems. I ended up having to do a nissen afdetrwards. I have yet to see data suggesting that this procedure has an effective “easy repair” as they claim.
Be very careful about whether the esophyx is reversible. (See video 2:17) My friend had it done and is now being told it is not reversible – has this happened to anyone else? thanks
I’m contemplating having this done as well. Any input?
I am considering this. I wish there were some people posting here who have done it already. It seems an upgrade from the Nissen procedure.
Gonna try natural ways first.
