The beads in the device magnetically attract among each other and this pressure helps keep the lower esophageal sphincter closed and prevents the reflux streams from the stomach flowing upwards, but of course permits the swallowing of food items and also force opens when there is heavy pressure of gas from stomach upwards. Within a weeks time of the surgery patients can start with their normal diet and routine, of course, under a physicians guidance. We have contacted Torax, who are the manufacturers of the trademarked LINX system and is awaiting response from them regarding the product.

Does anyone know? I suffer from both GERD and LPR - I have heard very positive results about this device and for those of us who suffer - just hate to wait any longer.

As a result I have no lower sphincter, just an open esophagus into an abyss. Gerd is quite bad. Has anyone tried whis magnetic ring for people like me who have no sphincter? Is this procedure being done now, or does it have to wai until the trial are complete. I am not a physician, just an interested potential patient. My surgeon doesn not know about this procedure.

My Torax device is working as advertised. My surgeon considers me a poster child for the device as I seem to have the best outcome of the 3 he did that day. Unfortunately the device is still in clinical trials and I don't know when the FDA is going to approve for the general population. I have taken Protonix for years and I stopped taking it on 9/2 and haven't had any reflux or heartburn since. The best part of the device is it is completely reversible if there is a problem. So far I have only had some eating problems, the food gets stuck on the way down. I have had to learn how to eat again, small amounts, chew thoroughly and eat SLOWLY. I hope and pray that this gets approved quickly for the general population as I view this as one of the best things that I have ever done!! Shooz I did in fact have the surgery 3 weeks ago today.
