Im finally getting the LINX

Im writing this 2 days before the surgery and I still consider to cancel my appointment cause Im scared a bit but the cost-benefit ratio is pretty good. I will get swallowing issues, that’s for sure. But the success rate for reflux is about 80~% and if I could choose, swallowing issues are the better option. I’m scared, I don’t want to DO the surgery but it’s necessary. I can’t keep living like this. I’ve been experiencing: -shortness on breath -post nasal drip -Globus -acid in my throat -etc… PPIs do not work. H2-antihistamines have got severe side symptoms such as anxiety which is not cost-benefit efficient.

I will keep you all updated :)

Edit 1: 30 mins after

I’m pretty dizzy from the surgery still cause I woke up 30 mins ago. The pain in my stomach is really, really not that hard. I don’t Not have difficulties to speak or swallow. I did have. Panic-attack for some reasons I don’t want to share just this much: I am autistic.

Edit 2: The „air vomiting“ is the frcking WORST. I hate vomiting itself but that’s something different. It hurts in your chest, your stomach and your shoulders. Pain scale= 7/10. I cried a bit 👍

Edit 3: bloating got a lil better after the hospital gave me some stuff. I ate breakfast and had lunch. I have to chew reallllyyyy slow but it’s alright, not as much pain as I imagined. Overall getting better :)
