we had deflux

My little girl was diagnosed with grade two reflux on the left side at 10 months old after a weekend of very high fevers and antibiotic injections twice daily at the hospital. We started a sulfa based antibiotic daily and stayed on that till she was 3 and a half. She did potty train early due to having to catch samples to avoid being catherized. At age 3 1/2 she still had no improvment in her condition and the twice yearly cystograms were a nightmare for both of us. So we had deflux preformed. Everything went great. She had a 6 month cystogram and was told we need not come back to the specialist unless we had problems. She is not almost 7 and we just had a routine urine sample ran as part of her yearly exam. It showed white cells and we are currently waiting on culture results. Anyway it is hard to find stats on the ones that are not successful most things paint this surgery to be wonderful and a cure all for her grade. also someone above mentioned stomach issues with long term antibiotics. For the last 2 years we have been dealing with stomach aches 2 to 4 times per week. Any suggestions? The doctor also mentiomed she had enlarged lymph nodes on her exam and said not to worry it is probably nothing but we would run labs to rule out lymphoma anyway. How can one not worry!? any thoughts apprieciated.
