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!!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
