Esophageal manometry and 24 hour PH test - how was it for you?

[Amy* 5]

Hi all,

I am experiencing reflux sypmtoms two years post Gastric Bypass (revision from lap band) and ultrasound didn't show anything so I now have to have an esophageal manometry and 24 hour PH test done.

Both tests involve having tubes inserted up my nose and down the back of my throat, and it's causing me some anxiety thinking about having it done. I woke up with an NG tube after the surgery and having it removed was quite uncomfortable, so I'm nervous about being awake while having two seperate tubes inserted.

Can anyone talk me through their experience? Did you gag/choke while they were putting the tubes in?
