Hi all its been awhile since ive been on this forum! Ive finally decided to try and get the linx procedure done. I have flown from Australia to England to get it done!! Im actually a British Citizen but I don't think I can have it done on the NHS? Im prepared to go private. If anyone could recommend a good surgeon I would be most grateful. I like the sound of Dr Nick Boyle and i do recall his name being mentioned on this forum before. 

Many thanks in advance for your time.

    Hello Dominique,

    I am also interested in this procedure, did you managed to find a good specialist? I am very cautious about surgerons in this country, had two bad experiences (not Gastroenterologist surgeons but different).

    Have you not thought about going abroad? Within EU you can get it refunded by NHS but it needs to be all arranged before. Not sure in your case if you not currently resident of UK 😖

    Good luck!
