Guest guest Posted October 5, 2005 Report Share Posted October 5, 2005 Hi , When had his done, he had the triple procedure - gtube, fundo (the surgical correction for reflux) and the pyloryplasty (to speed up digestion). At that point (about 3 years ago) Dr H was really starting to do these as triples. For any child who has any reflux at all, you really need the funo with the gtube. Otherwise you will just exacerbate the reflux with the additional food. It has been great for .
