Our surgical reflux management system
Our experienced care team can help you understand the procedure's benefits and risks, how it works and whether you'll be a good candidate.
Surgical treatment for GERD
We offer a procedure that treats GERD by restoring the natural barrier between your stomach and esophagus. Our surgeon places a small, flexible ring of magnetic titanium beads around the lower esophageal sphincter (LES). This ring allows food and liquid to pass into the stomach while preventing stomach acid from flowing back into the esophagus, which is the cause of acid reflux symptoms.
This surgical treatment might be right for you if you:
- Have symptoms are not fully managed by medication
- Experience side effects from long-term medication use
- Want to avoid invasive surgery
Benefits of acid reflux surgery
Most notably, you may experience significant relief from chronic acid reflux symptoms, including heartburn, regurgitation and chest discomfort, often with reduced or eliminated need for daily medication. This surgery can help prevent damage to your esophagus caused by long-term acid exposure, supporting better digestive health and reducing risks related to GERD, such as esophageal strictures or Barrett’s esophagus. Many people also report an improved quality of life, with more freedom in diet choices and greater confidence in daily activities, knowing that reflux symptoms are under control.
- Decreased dependency on daily acid-reducing medications
- Lower risk of long-term complications associated with GERD, such as esophageal damage
- Significant reduction in chronic acid reflux symptoms

What to expect after your procedure
Understanding what to expect after surgery is essential to foster a smooth recovery. You may go home the same day of the procedure because this procedure is minimally invasive and typically requires only a short recovery period.
You can expect mild soreness around the incision sites, which usually subsides within a few days. It is likely you will resume normal activities within a week, though following your doctor’s guidance on diet and activity adjustments in the early days is essential. Prioritizing rest and gradual return to daily activities will support optimal healing and adjustment to the device.
