Wasn't the most pleasant 24 hours of my life but really not that bad. Didn't hurt, strange sensation in throat area that I really can't explain. Almost like every so often I just felt like something was in my throat.

Not the same test I guess mine only lasted 15 minutes, they do it to determine the pressure in your esophagus.

I had the Bravo capsule done, it measures the PH and there is no tubes in the nose. They do it under sedation, and then when the stitch dissolves the capsule "passes" through the system. http://www.gastroenterologistpaloalto.com/treatment-bravo-monitor-gastroenterology-palo-alto-ca.html

That's the esophageal manometry, right? They put the tube in your nose, and then have you swallow some Fluid correct? It checked the strength and motility of the esophagus.

The endoscopy is very e-z your fast asleep!!! You wake up and walk out!! I see it as every thing will be worth it in the end and while we have to under go unpleasant procedures, keeping focus on a perfect end result works!!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
