I've been advised they are really dangerous due to possibility of perferations.
Surgeon says he has had to repair lots of badly performed "balloon" procedures and its really not nice.
So its proposed I have the "valve" cut and the stomach wrapped around it to form a new valve - not sure of technical names for these procedures.
Any thoughts.
