Would hate for you to get the fundo and then find that it doesn't help with the actual problem. <br /><br />I'm also assuming that you guys are doing bolus feed--food all at one time. That might be causing him discomfort. Might try to break it up into smaller bits spaced over time and see if that cuts down on the throwing up.Katyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02189007616883663434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8581317431133132518.post-29155376073462382102010-09-21T11:46:59.681-05:002010-09-21T11:46:59.681-05:00I would be very careful about the fundo. We were ...I would be very careful about the fundo. We were also faced with the decision of whether or not to do it. After much thinking, praying, and research we finally came to the conclusion that Anna had problems with motility. She had a pyloric balloon dilation and things got so much better- and it was so much less invasive. If a child has motility problems then a fundo is the worst thing for that. The motility can be easily checked with a gastric emptying scan. The fundo is great for some kids but I really think sometimes it is done too quickly without investigation of what other problems might be contributing to the problem. I know it is such a hard decision and I wish you nothing but peace about whatever you decide.Jamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07094218998879302000noreply@blogger.com
