reflux question

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone. Sorry it's been so long. There has been so much going

on, and I'm just barely hangin in there, hopefully all I have to say

is 1st trimester and you'll all understand! On top of that I've had

complications with Dasia. After surgery, she developed what seemed

to be pretty severe reflux. She began vomiting her feedings about

once a day, usually in the morning, she'd start coughing halfway

through her feedings, and I'd know to stop it, that she was going to

vomit. One time in between feedings she spit up plain stomach acid,

it was on her clothes strong, but you couldn't see it, and she would

touch her cheeks and say owe. After I described her symptoms to the

Dr., of course he prescribed prevacid. She's been on it for 4 days,

and most of the symptoms have gone away, but I sometimes see her

taking deep breaths and swallowing. But I don't know if that is from

feeling so full from her feedings or she's still experiencing

reflux. Now I'm worried the reflux is bad enough that the medicine

will not be enough, that she'll need the nissen procedure. So that's

my question, did her symptoms seem so severe, that medicine may not

take care of the problem? Any input will be greatly appreciated!

Thanks Everyone!
