I had my pre-op tests this morning!



Recommended Posts

I had the full schedule of fun- EKG, barium upper GI swallow thing, blood work, ultrasound, a urinalysis, and I even got a bag of stuff to take home so I can bring them my poop to test.

I definirely made the radiologists life a lor more interesting while we were doing the barium test. It was the doctor and two technicians, and while I was going from the standing test to the sitting test I looked at the radiograph of my esophagus that was up on their chart. I was tired and cranky because I had to fast for all these tests and I was already on the liquid diet, so before I knew it I was pointing out that the thing on the screen looked like a penis (it even had shadowy spheres that looked like testicles at the base). They were flabbergasted, the doctor was literally speechless. One of the techs says “we’ve never had anyone say that before.” Well am I wrong? No answer, I swallowed more gross barium, and we all went our ways with a little more humor in the day.

Hahaha that's awesome. They didn't ask me to do an upper GI test.

Nothing like pooping in a plastic hat, though. Fun times.

I just had to do blood work (yesterday) ...no other tests fortunately! That's funny though :rolleyes:

Good luck!

So what you're saying is. You took a test to see how well you could swallow and It looked like your throat had a penis in it? So what's the problem? 😈

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
