At Slim Vegas, we pride ourselves on leveraging advanced, minimally invasive Fundoplication and TIF (Transoral Incisionless Fundoplication) procedures. Our approach significantly reduces the discomfort and recovery time associated with traditional surgery, offering you a seamless path to overcoming the challenges of acid reflux and GERD.
Fundoplication and TIF are revolutionary procedures designed to provide long-term solutions for GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease). By restoring the function of the gastroesophageal valve, they prevent stomach acids from causing discomfort and potential damage to the esophagus.
Using the latest in medical technology, these treatments involve wrapping the upper curve of the stomach (Fundoplication) or recreating the valve between the esophagus and stomach (TIF) without the need for external incisions. This innovative approach enhances the procedure's safety and effectiveness.
Primarily, these procedures target chronic acid reflux and GERD. They are ideal for patients who have not found relief through medication or lifestyle changes, offering a more permanent solution to their digestive discomforts.
Patients often experience a significant improvement in their quality of life, with reduced acid reflux symptoms, elimination of the need for ongoing medication, and a decrease in the risk of long-term complications associated with GERD.
Ideal candidates are those suffering from chronic acid reflux or GERD, who prefer a minimally invasive solution with proven effectiveness. Consultation with our specialists at Slim Vegas will determine if this innovative procedure is the right option for you.
Recovery times can vary depending on the individual, but most patients can return to their normal activities within a few days. The full benefits of the procedures typically become evident within a few weeks as the body heals.
Yes, patients will need to follow a specific diet plan temporarily post-procedure. This starts with liquids and gradually progresses to soft foods, and then back to a normal diet. This transition ensures proper healing and maximizes the effectiveness of the treatment.
Good candidates for Fundoplication and TIF are individuals who suffer from chronic acid reflux or GERD, have had little to no relief from medication or lifestyle changes, and are seeking a minimally invasive solution. A thorough evaluation by our specialists at Slim Vegas will be necessary to determine if these procedures are suitable for your condition.
