Did you have an esophageal motility test?



Recommended Posts

I'm very excited because my insurance has approved the band for me! I've completed several of the pre-op tests, but I have to do the esophageal motility test next week. Is it hard to "not gag" when they put the tube down your throat? I look forward to sharing my experiences here. Reading all of your responses has helped me know I'm making the right decision! Thanks everyone!:rolleyes:

This was horrible...the worst part of the whole thing. Bring someone with you. They went down my throat, I know some doctors do thru your nose. They were training a nurse...and had my with the tube down my throat for an HOUR. I was gagging the whole time. I really wonder how needed this test is for people with no symptoms of esph. problems.

That said, I would go thru that everyday to be thin like I am now (thin for me anyway).
