Experiences With Manometry And Egd?
The manometry is a little uncomfortable but no worry of throwing up on anyone..... the test took 15 to 20 minutes ..... i really didn't feel anything cause she numbed my throat really good. Good luck

- Experiences With Manometry And Egd?
I've had both tests done... the EGD you're put into what they call "twilight" , they put a tube down your throat to check for strictures, hernias, and any ablation on the esophagus. The manometry wasn't that bad even though you're awake they use a spray to numb your nose and throat. It basically checks the muscles in your throat and makes sure you don't have problems swallowing.- Anyone Here Have Dr. Alvarez?
Thanks for the reply..... starting to get things on my shopping list, biotein spray is on there.... so I guess this will be needed. Again thank you..... glad things went well for you- Anyone Here Have Dr. Alvarez?
Hello, have a question about the leak test... my papers say that he now does the leak test during surgery, does he still do the 24 hr test as well? If not, do you get ice chips the night of your procedure or still wait till next day? Thanks- Dr. Alvarez

I feel your pain... the waiting game is the worst thing ever! You have so much time to sit and think about all the what ifs... what if this doesn't work for me or what if I don't get approved. Being on this forum has been a true Godsend for me, when I feel down on myself I get on here and read such wonderful success stories and think yeah .. that Will be me too! Keep your chin up you can do this and next year we both will be much healthier and happier for it.- Pre-Op Diet
Irishmama2004, who was your doctor if I may ask? I'm going to Dr. Alvarez in October and he does the same thing with stitching over the staples and leak test during surgery. I'm almost there... can't believe how fast my time is coming. In the beginning it felt like forever and now in 56 days I will be rockin my sleeve woo hoo- New, Hello
