As I read these posts I have to express how sorry I am for all that everyone is going through. But, I really appreciate your candor and sharing your experiences; good and bad.

I have a second surgical consult coming up (first surgeon thinks Linx might be right for me so have manometry and pH study scheduled). As I read your posts, I’m trying to come up with a list of questions to be ready with. Any input is greatly appreciated! Examples:
How many Nissen’s have you done?
How many have failed and had to be redone? (How many were in the last year?)
Do you use mesh as a solution and if so when/why?
Linx- how many, under what circumstances do you do that vs Nissan.
Can you put me in touch with patients who have had both types and one who had a failed Nissen?

I have to do research still on hernias as I do have one.

Thank you in advance for any guidance.
