Anyone Look At Their Sleeve Via X-Ray?



Recommended Posts

I'm so curious to see what my stomach looks like now. I'm considering getting an X-Ray to see it (would that work?). Any ever view their sleeve somehow?

Yeah. While I was in the hospital, I did a barium swallow to check for leaks and I could see the picture. It looked odd but very small.

I saw mine during the final leak year as well. I expected to see a banana shape but it looked more like an intestine. Not as attractive as I expected. Ha!

Would it show in an x-ray without taking drinking some kind of radioactive liquid?

I actually have a DVD of mine, So I swallowed the barium and it shows it going in, in motion! It's pretty cool.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
