This week on Bodytalk, Jules Bottazzi was joined by consultant general surgeon Mr Dip Mukherjee and one of his patients Mr Richard Lehman, who shared his experience of suffering from gastric reflux and the treatment he received to alleviate it.

Richard spoke movingly about his 20-year battle with the severe and chronic symptoms of reflux, and the sudden surge of hope and resulting new lease of life he experienced when Dip was able to tell him that it could be cured by keyhole surgery.

Dip talked about the causes and symptoms of reflux, and the new developments in surgery that can literally change someone’s life, almost overnight.
