"pre-op procedure for swallowing--the manometry--where the tube with the camera goes thru the nose into the tummy"

I was just reading in another thread where someone had this done. Anyone else??

i have never heard of that! thats kinda weird i didnt have to have nothing like that

Yes, I had to have that done! It was uncomfortable, but not painful! My Doctor did this to see that I was swallowing correctly and to check the pressure in my stomach. I would say it isn't something that you can't handle, just uncomfotable when something goes into your nose and into your stomach from you nose!

When did you know that you needed this test? I don't like to be surprised by things and that would really freak me out.

I had something similar done in a doctor's office when I was having my vocal chords looked at when I suddenly couldn't sing in my upper register. It was weird feeling but not painful. They generally numb your nasal passages before doing it. No biggie.
