Can someone please explain exactly how they do a leak test? I mean- I don't have to swallow some sort of camera device right? Right? Biting my nails...

I would have much rather swallowed a camera rather than the disgusting barium. I think that was the worse part of this whole surgery. YUK!

the good thing is we cant drink that much of it

Yeah, that barium is the only thing that has made me vomit since surgery.

Agree!!!

AS I understand you have 2 leak tests.

one test is done during the procedure. they check it from inside that there is no leak. but the next day I had the x-ray test I had to swallow TERRIBLE drink. just might be 1.4 of cups but it was discussing... and they was watching you on monitor how it goes in your stomach and that nothing goes behind it.

The machine is called a fluoroscope sort of cool to see the video pictures of your digestive track.

I just notice my typo. 1/4 of the cup not 1.4
