My husband, who is 89, has just had this procedure as he was not deemed a candidate for OHS. He had two clips placed and they are very happy with the result as his regurgitation is now deemed mild. They say you don't get complete absence of leakage. He is doing very well, regained his appetite and feeling great. It was done under a general anaesthetic on a Monday and ready to go home on Wednesday. (We are in Brisbane, Australia)
