Ron B.

Dear Dr. Smith,,

It’s rare that I have any correspondence with a physician after surgery other than follow up visits. In this case I wanted to write that the LINX surgery in October 2017 was a complete success. I cannot believe that after 60 years of suffering from GERD and acid reflux, my life is free from all these issues. I cannot thank you enough for this life-changing surgery.

There is another reason for writing this letter. Starting in late December 2016 through September 2017, I was hospitalized four times with pneumonia, later to be diagnosed as aspiration pneumonia. Since the surgery I have no been in a hospital, other than for routine tests and patient visits.

It seems the LINX surgery has a secondary benefit of blocking mucus or other objects (for lack of a better word) from entering the lung(s). This has also been a blessing. no longer worrying about when I will be admitted to a hospital for pneumonia.

Sincerely,
Ron B.
