What your describing I exactly how
I am feeling.
For the first 2 days I had now wind
But terrible spasm , cramping
Pains,I was in agony
It has now settled but I have constant
Wind. I am able to burp but this is
Very uncomfortable at the moment.
I am eating very small meals with a
Little water as I'm feeling very
Nauseas hoping that feeling will
Settle down soon.
Hoping things settle down very soon.

Symptoms your experience sound
Very similar to mine. I feel nauseous
After eating . I had my first feeling
Of food become stuck and pain in
My chest area. I'm hoping it will settle
Down very soon. I'm now 6 days post
Surgery. The bloating is very painful
But I have found it settles a little
With buscapan . Let me know how
Your getting on hopefully things will
Settle soon for both of us 😊

This is very reassuring for me at the
Moment as the linx is not routinely
Used in the UK so very little support.
Bulky foods are extremely difficult to
Manage. I have had a bad day today
I'm hoping my digestion system
Settles very soon.
I can feel the food as it goes through
The linx this is a bit uncomfortable but at least I have stopped reaching!
My reflux symptoms seemed to have
Gone I have been able to sleep
Properly for the first time in years.
I am still burping a bit but nothing
As bad before surgery.
Keep in touch its nice to be able to
Share experience 😊

Very soon. I feel much better today.
I have reduced my medication
Esomeprozole to 20 mg I was taking
60 mg per day before surgery.
I have stopped my ranitidine 300 mg ,
Gaviscon. Before surgery I had
Terrible chest pain, I had terrible
Burning from the acid reflux.
I could not eat full meals and I had
Constant painful bloating and burping
(All The time).
I was unable to sleep properly.
I am feeling much better today, I am
Eating a lot slower I can still feel
The food as it goes through the
Device. Have u tried peppermint tea
To help with the gas and bloating.
I am having to change the way I
Eat chew more and slow
Hope you feel much better today

Bad day
I still have terrible bloating and windy
Cramp pains. Worse after eating.
I am eating very small portions each
Time about a cup full. This seems
Enough for my digestion system
To cope with. Swallowing is still
A problem. I have also started
Burping and a similar heartburn
Feeling throughout the day
I'm hoping this will go in a few
Days. I can still feel food going
Down but it is moving with plenty
Of liquids.
Do you have any pain in your
Shoulder
I hope you have a better day today 😊

Painful still.

Eating is still a little bit of a problem
For me.
I'm avoiding chewy meats ,
Experiencing problems with bread.
Still suffering from bloating mainly
After eating. Reflux symptoms
Have all about gone.
My hernia was 5 cm but fixed same
Time as Linx fitted.
Hows things with u ?
Do you have the website for
The Linx support page ?

Able to eat with no food becoming
Stuck.
Off all meds
Sleeping much better
I've got used of the feeling of the linx
As food passes through and
Its become unnoticeable to me.
I can eat and drink things I had to
Avoid before the procedure
