Molly Hart, 19, had suffered with acid reflux since she was six months old and had been on medication to control it all her life.
Molly booked a consultation with Mr Rishi Singhal at BMI The Priory Hospital. After testing, it was confirmed that Molly was a suitable candidate for the LINX® procedure.
LINX® is a minimally invasive, laparoscopic procedure consisting of a small, flexible band of interlinked titanium beads with magnetic cores being placed around the oesophagus, just above the stomach. Once in place, the device will begin working immediately. The magnetic attraction between the beads keeps the Lower Oesophageal Sphincter (LOS) closed to prevent reflux, while opening during swallowing and to allow for the release of elevated gastric pressures, such as belching and vomiting.
*Please be aware that there are a range of treatment options available for acid reflux and BMI does not endorse or recommend any particular products or treatments.
About Mr Rishi Singhal:
Mr Singhal is a Consultant Bariatric & Upper GI Surgeon, in the Upper GI Unit at Heart of England, NHS Foundation Trust, Birmingham.
After completing his CCT in General Surgery, Mr Singhal undertook a national fellowship in Bariatric Surgery at the Musgrove Park Hospital, Taunton which is one of the premier bariatric centres in the UK. He has experience in benign Upper GI Surgery, Bariatric surgery and resectional surgery for oesophago-gastric cancers.

GERD is a literal living hell

@PEARL Toan shame on you, you should be ashamed of yourself
@steve josh scam
The spasms are the worse part of it and the throat tightness
Not certain about the points made but ,if anyone else trying to find out natural heartburn treatment try Reflux Recovery Tactics ( reflux.RecoveryTactics.com ) ? Ive heard some incredible things about it and my friend got amazing success with it.
This is so inspiring as I have been suffering with it for 5 years. It feels like your just existing and not living life..
I`ve been plagued with acid reflux disorder, leaking gut, bowel obstruction, reflux esophagitis and also dyspepsia for years and absolutely nothing classic medication has offered truly help and support. I simply implemented the 1st step in acid reflux disease treatment solution t.co/o6RSF9BxUj and now my discomforts are vanished and some of my symptoms are reduced.. .

I'm so happy she's better. I'm suffering at this moment and I'm tired of it. I'm having an ENDOSCOPY&COLONOSCOPY in a month to see what's really wrong. I'm in so much pain. To everyone suffering I wish you well...✌🏽💜🙏🏽
Now, how are you?
I am the same way this week I am waiting for a phone call to have it

Had this my entire life. I had it when I was a baby. As I got to my teens I was really fit, I didn't have and reflux. But then I got to drinking age and smoking age, I was doing both. The acid put me in hospital a few times, I would struggle with really bad heartburn. All through my twenties trying to just live. Then at age 29 I had a hiatus hernia, that's when it all got bad. I had the hiatus hernia the same time as the chronic pain came on. I was constantly eating sweet chili, then taking anti-acids to put down the heartburn, I did this for weeks until the hiatus hernia formed. Through painkillers fighting the chronic pain, just trying to live, the painkillers caused Gastritis. Eventually that healed, but now I have gastritis. I have had gastritis for 7 months now. I not only have to deal with chronic pain, but also this acid crap. Doctor said surgery just brings problems, but the doctor doesn't understand how reflux destroys a person's life. I can't drink because I will get really bad heartburn, which keeps me from going out anywhere. I wish I seen a doctor about it when I was 19, it would have saved me so much pain and not missing out on so many things. There's also a link between GERD and Anxiety. Which is definitely what I have.
I've suffered with gerd for 10 years, I use nexium but now that doesn't even touch it unless I take a 40mg dose, when you tell people about it, it doesnt sound too bad but living with it is hell
Hey, did you undergone this procedure? And its ok now?
It damm sure is hell
I also take nexium I get pain every day and I cant sleep at night it’s like being blown by dragon breath every day it’s horrible
I swear to God if you know the simple permanent solution for Gerd you wouldn't consider to do surgery the doctors know a little about our body i can share my story and the solution if anyone is interested
@@Motivational_Queen9 i'm interested
living with GERD honestly sucks so much and everyone thinks you’re being dramatic. it affects my everyday life but i’m too afraid to get surgery. I just wanna be able to go out and do things again.

Shortness of breath/chocking feeling.
Anxiety and all heartburns.
Totally fed up
Any one feels the same and is literally hopeless.
Plz reply.
I as well have anxiety and have false shortness of breath due to a sensation I guess in the esophagus. Have you tried antacids ? Mine was brought on by a spirit like a alcoholic drink , I noticed bloating and felt I couldn’t breathe right and my belly wouldn’t expand when I took a deep breath . Also felt the lump in throat feeling as if front of neck was tight . The shortness of breath isn’t real it’s a sensation making you feel like it’s real cause of the nerve ending in the esophagus . Take antacids every day for a week or two and the first few days will feel relieved , also I take pro biotics gummies for the upset stomach feeling lead on by anxiety .
@@Bigjamez2011 isnt there any permanant fix for this
I mean any surgery..?
Coz i am tired of this routine and tablets.
27 years old, I can relate. Each day is a new challenge. I cried watching this video because I just want to be normal again. Anything including just drinking water gives me symptoms. Bending over gives me symptoms, I don’t even sit on the couch anymore. I have a hard chair to keep me upright and sleep upright. It does feel helpless.
I feel the same 😔
@@athiestnastik4863 Hey man, there is a surgery available for it but it freaks me out. I have a medium size Hiatial Hernia and Nissen fundoplication. Look it up on youtube to get a better picture. Apparently that is the best fix for what we suffer from. But looking at the procedure, I'm extremely hesitant. I'm still torn and can't make my mind whether to go ahead with the surgery or not. I'm 28 and lead a healthy lifestyle and barely drink on occasion, so there is almost no room to improve when it comes to my lifestyle. Doctors are telling me surgery is the best way to go and is kinda urgent because it will only get worse.
it only took 40yrs to come up with this 5 dollar device.. magnetic beads, so mind blowing hahahaha
The device itself is a few thousand dollars. Smart bit of kit
So happy for her. I’ve been experiencing gerd for about 2 months and I’m finding it so hard. Not sure what’s causing it but may need some procedure if it’s the same reason. I can’t eat anything at the moment because of tha pain so I’m drinking liquids instead.
How do you feel now? Did you see your dr and got prescribed any meds?
I was on PPIs not long after I wrote this but I didn’t like taking them for long so I stopped. It got worse so I’m back on them again now. I have IBS too and it seems lactose has been an issue for me so I’m I’ve just started not eating that. It’s helped the IBS but I’m still getting reflux. I’m getting really nervous too eat anything. Every time I am I’m having anxiety attacks and that’s not helping 😭 anxiety has always been a problem for me so I’m starting anti anxiety meds to see if it’s psychological in anyway
@@bonniecarpenter145 I also just started on omeprazole. It’s only been a few weeks but I too want to stop but I’m too scared that I’ll feel the pain again. My doctor did advice me to try to stop taking it and see how I feel but I’m scared. I too feel like I have anxiety. I barely eat now too. It’s so sad…I eat really small meals like oatmeal banana and bread. And I’ve lost 10 pounds already. Having this really sucks.
@@motherofthequeen2434 my doctor said banana was something that can aggravate it. I’ve got dairy free and that has helped me a bit but everybody is different. I have IBS which is making things worse. I need to get my IBS under control and hopefully it will help my reflux
I’ve been suffering from acid reflux since I was 8 do to my childhood diet and teenage diet. My adult diet was decent but a lot of fast food and life on the go kinda played a part in my now suffering from gastritis. These GI doctors in the us truly suck.
Now, how are you?

I’ve had really bad acid reflux since 2017 I’ve got my pain now I’ve had 2 endoscopy’s and my stomach valve doesn’t close properly need a acid test and this looks very good but I’m also worried that someone did have this done and it didn’t work for that person. I’m 27

Always
I had 5 endoscopy.....!!! This is shit!!! Organic food, gym, 8 hours of sleep ...still no use....and anxiety is becoming a hugh problem....not able to concentrate on work also.
I need this surgery. I’m 17 and have been suffering for a month now. I’ve gotten an endoscopy and my esophagus is irritated but I can’t bare this feeling of wanting to throw up because my acid. I’m sick of now eating basically anything, I’m either always hungry or always feeling like in need to throw up.
I suffered from severe acid reflux years ago and I used is red apples to treat and get rid of it. Red apples can neutralize hyper-acidity in the stomach which often leads to acid reflux. Please try it
This is exactly what I’ve been dealing with for 12 years! In need the surgery as well! Have you gotten anywhere?
Same shit story, thanks for sharing your experience
are you better now 😅
I don't think we have very many long term patient reviews for the Linx.
@King A - I don't know. I think the best thing is to lose weight and so you belt is not pushing into your stomach and therefore pushing acid into the esophagus. Then go on Prilosec and the last result would be tot try the Line or TIF. I believe both can be reversed quite easily. I wish we had a website that had honest patient testimonies.
TIF 2.0 not enough reaserch, Linx terrible reaserch, destroyed the health of many, Nissan Fundoplication still the best option.

Hi having gerd and anxiety since 2013 , facing lots of problems, can't skip the tablets, cant go anywhere, can u tell this surgery available in india or anywhere else?
Is there anyone who did this operation?
God I wish I could have this done. I'm 56, been suffering with this as far back as 8 years old and its so severe that I wake up with puke in my mouth. I cannot, afford OTC antacids, and my medical coverage, Medicaid, wouldn't cover this by a long shot. I have puked so many times in my life more from this than any illness like flu. Sometimes I can't breathe because the acid gets stuck in my throat. And I've lost nearly all of my teeth because of the acids eating the enamel off of my teeth.😔
Have you had an endoscopy, How have you had it for that long and no damage
How is she now
Do you have nose blocks as well? Please please suggest.
Yeah nose blocks .short of breath ..
Yes
Yup
But that’s possibly allergies to food or seasonal they last like 6 months.
Eat red apples to treat and get rid of acid reflux. Red apple has alkaline properties which can neutralize hyper-acidity in the stomach which often leads to acid reflux.

@@ry2456 nissen fundoplication. Having had it, I don't recommend my doctor. The acid reflux that causes coughing, hoarseness, and throat clearing is not helped by this surgery.
What was you side effects after surgery
Why can't they sew donor tissue from the body around the LES to strengthen it???
I don’t sleep because of Acid Reflux
Nadir Yusuf sleep elevated and on your left side.
🤗 Tips for my fellow acid refluxers 🤗
• Avoid the bad food & drink list for AR
• Don’t sleep flat keep your chest and head elevated somehow
• Keep an empty stomach 2 hrs before bed
• Try to get off the medication unless necessary most OTC pills make it worse overtime and suppress the problem
• Drink ACV occasionally
• Try water fasting
• Small meals - keep your stomach less full so that there is no “overflow”
• If things don’t get better make an appointment for an endoscopy from your doctor.
Best of luck peeps we got this 👍🏻🤗
Also eat red apples to treat and get rid of acid reflux.
Tablet treatment is awful! Sergery and lifestyle change is the way. The tablets may work but there's studies that show big increase in gettingncanxer from use
that's right, some doctors just want to saturated us with a bunch of pills. It in long-term will got on us an almost dead liver. the best way is a surgery, prefered this Linx.

I have a Hiatal hernia. I had TIF surgery & the Nissen fundoplication on Nov 18th 2021. It is now 4 months since the surgery. Sometimes if I eat pieces that are to big I will throw up. Because of this I had another swallow test. Nothing seems to be blocked & the radiologist said he didnt see any reflux so I wonder why I still have constant burning in my throat. What has been your experience with how long it takes for this burning to go away. I wonder if something else could be the issue? Thanks.
I had a nissen mid August 2021. if you're throwing up, that's probably a bad sign. I've had episodes of extreme stomach cramping and retching, but only small amounts of bile ever actually made it up. iirc, the daily reflux burn went away relatively quickly (I didn't notice it by the time I was back to a normal diet). the ability for vomit to make it through your stomach to your throat could mean the nissen was done loosely and acid can still travel upwards
@@PlaceholderAlex it has stopped. I think the food was getting stuck. I had another barium swallow test. it shows no reflux & no blockage. I am still having some burning but I think it is allergy related. I am wicked allergic to cedar, oak, ash trees, & ragweed. I am starting to allergy meds. I am hoping this will help. Before I had surgery my acid levels were in the 70 & they are supposed to be in the 30. Are you feeling any better now?
Can you drink alcohol or smoke after this surgery?
No.
