    Yes, but I won't complain because at least it is related to surgery, and this surgeon has fewer and more reasonable requirements. Some doctors require a pap smear for goodness sake. The upper GI seems common, it allows the surgeon to see what is in there before he gets in there.

    Thanks for your replies. Well, at least it is only once more. Hopefully from not so many positions....the laying on my stomach drinking out of that huge straw was the worst. One barium test down, one to go. Onwards to the sleep study tomorrow night.

    Hi, I'm in the middle of the pre-approval process and have a question. How can you drink 8 glasses of water a day if you can only drink 4oz. at a time? Is that only at the beginning, can you drink more later? Also, what about protein shakes, do you just drink 4oz. at a time? Thanks in advance for advice!

    Question about Fluid Volume

    Swanton_Bomb replied to Swanton_Bomb's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums

    Thank you for your replies. It is a little confusing sometimes, you hear about stretching out your pouch and only drinking a little bit, but there just aren't enough hours in the day to get in all your fluid. To be honest though, I'm pre-surgery and I don't think I usually come even close to 8 glasses a day.
