Hi

A reflux mom I haven't spoken to in ages e-mailed be about this procedure
I've never heard of it...just wanted to pass the info on

http://www.curonmedical.com/Physicians/stretta_gerd.html

Never heard of it...is it a relatively new procedure? (Sorry, only quickly read the one page and didn't do any more searching).

It's not that new, it's been around for a few years that I know of. It's not done in infants and children yet though (that I know of anyway, unless they have recently started in teens maybe).

We actually mention this briefly (as Roni said it was not used in infants yet) in our book, pg 165 and quote with permission from Curon Medical.

Thanks for the link, we always want to hear about new options.
