Thursday when I saw my doctor he suspected that I might have a hernia at the spot where the tubing comes through the muscle, he sent me for a CT scan and said to get it done as soon as I could. I called the place right away and took their next available spot, 4:00 friday afternoon.

Friday I had half a Breakfast sandwich and 8 ounces of Water at 7:45 then had to have nothing after that, including water, to prepare for this test. At 2:00 I had an hour and a half to drink two big containers of barium. By the time I finished I felt like I was full up to my throat and I was so bloated I thought I'd explode. When I got to the place, they said they hadn't heard back on preauthorization from my insurance, so I had to reschedule. I spent the rest of the day still so full and bloated I couldn't even drink until about 8:00. And now when they reschedule me, I have to do it again, blah!

The bright side is, I lost a pound!

make sure you take plenty of benefibre, or you will be sorry!. good luck.

Yay on the pound but that is so Shite that you had to drink that for no result!!

Yup, two days later and I'm still trying to get rid of all that barium, my gut is rumbling nonstop and I can't button my jeans. I ate next to nothing yesterday cause I'm still so blah.
