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?

Leaning toward. I can't seem to get a handle on the GERD. I now sleep sitting up. I do none of the diet no-nos....I don't drink alcohol, caffeine, or carbonated drinks,. I eat a very low-fat diet. I work out with weights, walk and play golf.
