Acid reflux LINX procedure gives teenager Molly Hart new lease of life - BMI Healthcare

"Now I can eat what I want, when I want."

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.
