Acid reflux may be an important warning signal from your body of something that will get worse if ignored. It commonly happens when the Lower Esophageal Sphincter, commonly referred to as the LES, is weak and allows the acid to reflux toward the esophagus. Chronic acid reflux, sometimes referred to as GERD (GastroEsophageal Reflux Disease) can lead to serious complications such as Barrett’s esophagus or even esophageal cancer. The TIF procedure fights acid reflux by repairing the LES without incisions, to keep the stomach acid where it belongs.
Fights The Root Cause of Acid Reflux Directly At The Source
The TIF procedure treats the root cause rather than the symptoms by repairing the valve that keeps your stomach fluids where they belong.

Pills Are Not The Answer To Solve Severe Acid Reflux, And Here Is Why…
*Do not stop taking your PPI or other medications unless you are told to do so by your health care professional.
Reason #1
Constantly taking medication to treat frequent symptoms can become expensive and a hassle to deal with
Reason #2
The FDA has issued a warning for long-term usage of PPI medication (such as Nexium, Prilosec, Prevacid) may lead to harmful side effects such as bone fractures
Reason #3
Acid-reducing medications are designed to temporarily treat symptoms of reflux. They work by reducing the acid production in your stomach – but may not prevent or treat the root cause of reflux (a weak LES)
