![My LINX Story - LINX Surgery Testemonial [Honest Review After 6 Months]](/img/n.gif)
Just at the links device fitted and haven’t coughed since I came out of surgery. It is quite remarkable
You could be telling my story. I feel like a yo-yo. I’ve had 2 endoscopies and manometry which prove gerd but still after several years of ppi I’m getting gradually worse. Asthma is getting worse, I have a chronic cough and the respiratory consultant agrees after several tests that it’s the reflux that’s exacerbating the asthma. I’m waiting for another referral back to the gi doc. I’m hoping now that surgery will be available as an option.
Me too. Only been on ppi since beginning of 2021 but they don’t work for me. Did you get surgery ?
For me, my LINX stopped the regurgitation but did absolutely NOTHING for my LPR. Still throat clearing, still breathing issues, still the same old bland diet and no answers to my questions from the medical community. And I would add that 8 months post-linx is way too soon to hail it a success story. Im 5 years in and there were many stages in that time.
Did you have a hiatal hernia also?
I wish I was in th UK to get it done I stress out 😭😭😭😭
But how is she doing now 4 yrs later
I've been coughing for 20 years non stop, asthma meds and sometimes scary bouts of been unable to breath . I am in Ireland, Mr Boyle pls help
Similar situation I am in right now.
why every one is talking about heart burn why no one complain about food getting back to esophagus ...just like pounds of food filling esophagus and cant reach mouth
How are you feeling now?
Have there been any studies that follow patients so how the Proceedure holds up long term post operation. Example 1 yr, 3 yrs, 5 yrs 10 yrs etc.? And the success rates?
Yes J and J are undertaking some extensive studies in to the long term results. There are some other research project looking at results which look very promising.

Did your pain subside? Are you still having problems with the linx?
Is this suitable for hernia sufferers
Yes. I had hernia repair when I received the Linx
I also have a herniated stomach and acid reflux. I have this constant crop feeling in my throat and it irritates my lungs. It's ruining my life quite a bit. I'm always worried that the cropfeeling and lung irritation will become something worse. I live in Belgium but they don't do it here...
Unfortunately I don't know of any who does this surgery in Belgium, but we often treat people from overseas. I enclose our website address if you require any additional information. refluxuk.com/
