Why Am I Having Reflux Symptoms Again?

Posted By Carol on July 10, 1999 at 10:01:09
About 1 1/2 months ago I had a lap nissen done.  I am still having the same symptoms for reflux as I previously had to the surgery!    The symptom is intense sour taste in my  mouth at night,  little at day.  Some nights I have to sit up for a while to ease it. My doctor has me on 40 mg. of Prilosec recently.  I also take .25 mg of Xanax every 6 hours as it seems to "calm" things and let me sleep longer. (I used to take it only during PMS).  My doctor had said that when I had the Ph test done, previous to surgery,  I had one of the worst cases of reflux he had seen (off the charts).  I had all the necessary tests done previous to surgery, gallbladder, PH moniter, mamonetry, endoscopy(mild gastritis).  I asked my surgeon if he had  wrapped it tight enough,  and he said yes ,if it were any tighter, I would have problems the other way.  I can barely burp now.
  Sounds like we are all at a loss as what to do?  Is this something that takes time,  or can it possibly be my tense life?  (widowed, 2 young kids ,one with ADHD, no support etc..I am 47 years old)  HELP!!!  I am tired of waking up each night having to clean out my mouth and lose sleep!!  THANKYOU!!!
