Hiatal Hernia Repair & LINX to Treat Reflux Animation

This animation describes how the LINX surgery along with hiatal hernia repair works to stop reflux. After hiatal hernia repair, a ring of magnetic beads (LINX) are placed around the lower esophageal sphincter. Food and liquids can easily pass into the stomach with swallow, but LINX prevents stomach acid, bile, and digestive enzymes from refluxing back into the esophagus.

May I know how much is the Linx Surgery? I've been suffering reflux for more than a decade now. Please help me. 😥

[ShoOterEhce]

Guys if you think you have a hiatal hernia, you should do surgery right away, I have now had mine for over 7 years and it just gets worst, so bad that it now gives me mini strokes, and it also has affected my lungs in feeling like I sometimes can’t breathe properly. Don’t wait for surgery, or if you don’t want surgery, you need to be in perfect shape, as the more fat you have in the stomach, the worst it is. It’s horrible, I suffer everyday, and am now waiting to get my surgery .

[FrankieSama]

Does the Linx stay in the for the rest of your life? And if so can i continue boxing or contact sports?

[gzgerman]

Do you need to get Linx for hiatal hernia ? If you don’t have reflux ? Or can you just pull down the stomach stitch up the hole & put mesh over it ? What types of procedure are there for a hiatal hernia ?

[LCRLive]

Is this a new procedure? I mean the mesh. Not the lynx.
Before it was only funduplication. Tying the stomach around itself at the top. Is this mesh a new break through?
And what about the chip regulating the electricity of the opening/closing?

[Kitty]

Sometimes when I eat it hurts so bad ( a squeeze pain in my chest.) as if the food is stuck and nothing will go down even spit. I have to stop and walk around until it passes. Does that mean I have a Hiatal hernia?

[akarshfitness]
