"pre-op procedure for swallowing--the manometry--where the tube with the camera goes thru the nose into the tummy"

I was just reading in another thread where someone had this done. Anyone else??

Yes, I had to have that done! It was uncomfortable, but not painful! My Doctor did this to see that I was swallowing correctly and to check the pressure in my stomach. I would say it isn't something that you can't handle, just uncomfotable when something goes into your nose and into your stomach from you nose!

When did you know that you needed this test? I don't like to be surprised by things and that would really freak me out.

I had something similar done in a doctor's office when I was having my vocal chords looked at when I suddenly couldn't sing in my upper register. It was weird feeling but not painful. They generally numb your nasal passages before doing it. No biggie.

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
