A member asked:

How long can i lift weight again after a hiatal hernia repair with linx a linx device? no nissen fundoplication.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Great question but: ...the answer is best targeted to your circumstance. Please call you surgeon for the response most appropriate to you: for instance, whether the LINX device resulted in any swallowing trouble or other post-operative concerns.
