Mine was about a cup of barium. Thick white chalky stuff. Before that was a tiny amount of Alka seltzer stuff. They make you roll around on the table to coat your stomach. It wasn't horrible but glad it's over. I hope they told you the barium goes out the same color it went in LOL. so don't be shocked when you poop!

It was really neat watching my stomach on the screen. Not sure if you were able to see yours, but it was cool.

      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.
