Linx experiences?

Hi! I am in the process of investigating the LINX System. I have been taking Nexium for 15 years and it is not as effective as it once was. I receive an MRI at Mayo annually to check on my pancreas. Can someone with a LINX System receive an MRI? How about an endoscopy? Thanks!

Hi, @flt, and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. Good for you for researching the magnetic sphincter augmentation device for GERD (LINX system) or for any potential treatment. Unfortunate the esomeprazole (Nexium) has lost some of its efficacy for you.

Hoping members in this conversation about this magnetic sphincter augmentation device for GERD will chime in to give you some information on having this device and getting an MRI or an endoscopy, such as @sylvias @saucy @jord @baywood and others.

Are you leaning toward or against getting this device currently, flt? What symptoms are bothering you the most right now?
