Well I had an upper GI done and the doctor says everything looks good so I'm thinking I might not be chewing my food well enough or I just had a stomach bug but I hope it gets better cause it's no fun throwing up!

Hope you feel better soon!! Glad to hear everything is ok with mr pouchy!!

I have spells of throwing up and now finally believe that it is due to me not chewing my food well enough. Sometimes I don't even think to count when chewing and just do a few chews and swallow, my dr. suggests chewing a minimun of 30 times... since I don't like to vomit, I have been trying to chew minimum 50 times !!! and slow down.

I'm glad you are felling better and had everything checked out !!!

@bbdoodle I think that might be my problem so I guess I just need to learn how to slow down and chew chew chew but that's easier said than done but that sounds alot better then throwing up lol

I have to go for an Upper GI as part of the pre-surgery work up. I've never had one. What is actually done?

@annmarie well the one I had today was for after the surgery they give u this white chalky stuff to drink and they put this machine in front of your chest and it let's the doctor see the liquid going down when u swallow to make sure everything is suppose to go where it goes and u don't have ant leaks or anything

Now the one u do before the surgery they put u to sleep and then they stick a camera down your throat to make sure u don't have any ulcers before surgery and trust me it was painless and easy u will be fine and good luck on your surgery when is the BIG DAY!!

Thank you Ester! I don't have my date yet. I have to go for blood work, the upper GI and a few other tests. I joked with the receptionist at the doctors that with all the blood they want they must be vampires! The stack of sheets she handed me was so thick!

My upper gi was u drink the liquid and they watch u swallow thru a live xray machine. The camera down your throat is an endoscopy

I love this forum now I know what I will be going though in 40 days and counting.

Hope you fell better soon.
