\n<\/strong>RefluxStop\u2122 restores the natural position of the lower oesophageal sphincter. Thereby the backflow of stomach content into the oesophagus is prevented.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>The RefluxStop\u2122 procedure treats all types of reflux.<\/p>\n
\nPatients can usually leave the hospital the next day or up to a few days after the procedure. Typically, you will need a period of two to three weeks off work and you should not perform strenuous exercise or heavy lifting for the first six weeks. Please follow the recommendations of your surgeon.<\/p>\n
\nDirectly after surgery a liquid diet is recommended for a short period of time as your body is still healing. Thereafter you will be able to return to a normal diet. Please follow the dietary recommendations of your surgeon.<\/p>\n
\nRefluxStop\u2122 does not encircle and put pressure on the food passageway as is the case with existing procedures. According to the RefluxStop\u2122 clinical trial you can even expect that swallowing problems experienced prior to surgery, in many instances will improve over time after surgery.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>Since the RefluxStop\u2122 procedure, does not encircle and put pressure on the food passageway belching should normally be possible. Gas bloating is not associated with RefluxStop\u2122 and may be reduced or disappear compared to before surgery.<\/p>\n
\nThe ability to vomit is normally not affected by the RefluxStop\u2122 procedure, as the food passageway is not encircled.<\/p>\n
\nThe reduction of stomach volume following the RefluxStop\u2122 procedure is minimal and should not affect your appetite.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>The clinical trial results are excellent compared to existing methods, however, as with any type of
\nsurgery, there is always a risk that the treatment will not meet the expected results.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>RefluxStop\u2122 is made of tested biocompatible medical grade silicone, which has been used for decades in various medical implants.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>RefluxStop\u2122 is made of solid medical grade silicone and is therefore expected to last a lifetime.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>This would normally be possible as the RefluxStop\u2122 procedure does not irreversibly change the
\nanatomy.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>No, you will not feel the implant.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>Yes, normally there are no restrictions. Please ask your surgeon for details.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>This is not necessary as the implant is free of metal or electronics \u2013 in contrast to, for example,
\npacemakers which can cause problems at security controls.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>Yes, Magnetic Resonance Imaging is possible without any restrictions[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
