Wish me luck!

So today I am heading over to the hospital for my ultra sound and the UGI series test. I've always had a weak stomach, so I'm really hoping to be able to keep the barium mixture down. And then Monday is the gastric emptying test.... radioactive eggs! Trying to keep the positive, calm vibes - or there will be hospital staff wearing the barium and the eggs lol.... wish me luck!

    Gastric emptying is when they make you eat radioactive eggs, and over a 4 hour period, check how quickly the eggs are making their way through your stomach and intestines

    Thanks everyone! The barium wasn't anything I'd ever want to ingest ever again lol. But it's another 2 tests down. Thanks for the well wishes!
