Re: Stomach Pain - 5 days Post-Op

[Guest guest]

Do you still have the NG tube in? How long was it in for? I put NG

tubes down kids all the time and have never had any of them report

the pain that you described. Especially since it only occurs after

you eat I would also go with the heartburn. Try Mylanta and if that

doesn't work I've heard great things about Nexium. Also small

portions throughout the day versus a couple large...like we can take

anything large anyways. ha.
