RFA, radio frequency ablation. They use radio frequency to burn off 3 microns of barretts skin, then you keep the acid off and the normal skin to grow back.
I had the surgery on the 12th, stayed overnight. Since leaving the hospital, I haven’t had to use pain, nausea, or antacid medication. I am very satisfied that this procedure was right for me. Also, had a hiatal hernia repaired.

I live in Las Vegas. I had the procedure done at USC when Mayo turned me down as a patient. Dr. Lipham did the procedure. See YouTube video of him and the LINX.
I had the linx done last August and got no relief . I'm now being told "it slipped ". My doctor said it could possibly be tightened, a second option is saying take it out ..i see the surgeon on the Sept 12th ...
I had the LINX procedure and a hiatal hernia repair ten days ago. No pain, no nausea, and no need for antacids since. Getting used to swallowing, a little tight but if I chew well, no problem. Had it done at USC BY Dr. Lipham. He has a YouTube video.

I'm so pleased that everything went so well for you and that you can see the benefits of the surgery. That is just great. I do appreciate your update!
Did you have the surgery done at a hospital near you? Was the doctor a specialist in this type of procedure?

I understand the LINX can be removed or adjusted.
