Has anybody had the LINX surgery after sleeve? I am 6 yrs post op sleeve. The last 2 months I have had GERD and PH of esophagus is too high. I also have a vital hernia. My Options is Repair Hernia, then LINX placement or Gastric Bypass. I need some help to decide.

I had my hiatal hernia repair on DEC 8. It worked out so well, no more reflux. Feeling great. I'm so glad I decided against the LINX. Even my doctor said I made the right choice. Do the repair first. If it works, great. If not, then you can go to another plan. Even if it clears up some, you'll feel better. Good Luck.

Thanks for your input. I've decided on Dec 8, to just repair my hiatal hernia and not the LINX placement. I do not want a RNY at this time. Hoping by putting my sleeve back where it should be will fix reflux. It has only been in the last 2 mos that reflux has bothered me. Some days feeling real nauseous or just burping a lot. I do not have any burning. I'm 6 yrs post op and I now do think I've had some reflux over the last few years. Hasn't been bad and just took OTC antacids. I've just had a Upper Endoscopy with a BRAVO placement to check on reflux. Numbers were high. Have Esophagitis. GI doctor gave me a med called DEXILANT. It is working very well. I for sure will keep Dr. Keshishian for future reference. Thanks again.

I live in Pasadena. Is there any body in this area that would like to start meeting? I'm planning on having the Sleeve in Nov. Can use some support. Thanks
