According to OCC: The IGS implements a fundic anchoring technique that effectively reduces the risk of herniation and severe chronic acid reflux. Yes, it sounds like marketing and I am taking it with a grain of salt. Looking for anyone who may have gone through this procedure to validate any reduced or eliminated reflux.

Hello BariatricPal,
I have narrowed my sergeon selection to Dr Ariel Ortiz at OCC, and Dr. Rene Armenta at Renew Bariatrics. I have GERD and require daily medication. I was originally going to get the MGB, until I came across the IGS. Has anyone had the IGS at OCC and is your reflux resolved? Comments appriciated.

Did not get answers that sufficiently addressed my concerns with OCC. Decided to go with Renew Bariatrics and Dr. Rene Armenta. MGB surgery is scheduled for September 2nd. I will report back on experience post surgery.
