Well, I had the test done last Thursday at the LB surgeon's office by his ARNP. It was nasty, that gel stuff...... I have a deviated septum and enlarged turbinates so he tried to get the tube up one side of my nose but it wouldn't go through so he had to try the other side. I also had a problem with the swallowing part (swallowing at the wrong time, not holding my breath ect...) but the ARNP was awesome, he answered all my questions, explained to me why this surgeon does it and I must say I was
glad I had it done.

It makes sense really, if I have complications from the band then at least they know my esophogus was functioning normally before the band.

It also helps the doctor with his insurance, I'm sure........

My surgeon said I might have to have this test done. I have gastroperisus. Is it just for the swallowing? I've never had any trouble with swallowing. Is it really terrible? It sounds like it.
