Finally17 54 Posted May 17, 2017 Aug 2 I still need a EGD and barrium. For those who have had this, how was it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NewChiGirl 84 Posted May 18, 2017 Barium is easy, you swallow some chalky liquid and they take a bunch of xrays of the liquid going down. My EGD was under twilight sedation, no pain, a bit of gagging, the actual test part lasted less than 5-7 minutes. They give you the egd results immediately.
