They should have had you do a barium swallow and taken scans (x-rays) where they can see everything.

This was never brought up at all through any of my journey. Did the rest of you have to do this?

I had to do that when I got my LapBand., But not for going for VGS. Look like different doctors do different testing and diets.

I did. It was to look for other issues before my surgery.

I didn't do any kind of swallow either. Just loads of bloodwork, diabetes testing, and a gastroscopy.

It is used required for VSG but not the bypass. It is to check for abnormalities and then they do one after surgery to check for leaks.
