They'll make u drink the chalky drink and lay u facing up on the "bed" and tell u as you drink to move on your side and then again to the other side . Simple. They did say there's a bit of radiation in the chalky drink.

Are you talking about the post-op upper gi? I had mine the day after surgery and it was some nasty bitter stuff that I had to drink...I thought I was going to upchuck it, but it stayed down. It helped that the doctor was able to distract me by explaining where the contrast was and where my stomach is. Also, my test was done standing up. I just had to turn around so he can see it from all angles. It was all complete in about 3 minutes. then they let me rinse my mouth out with water.....so happy for that....didn't like the fact that the first thing I taste after surgery is bitter stuff....lol

I haven't had surgery. I met with the surgeon, nutritionist and shrink. Next step is the upper G.I. How much longer is the wait?
