Guest guest Posted November 3, 2011 Report Share Posted November 3, 2011 Can someone tell me WHY this test is needed across the board? I understand that with some kinds of Achalasia it might be. But if your esophagus isn't contracting, or is contracting oddly, that's pretty visible on a barium swallow. Between that and the bird's beak, why *isn't* that enough to go ahead and diagnose Achalasia, and proceed? I just had the follow up doc visit from the hospitalization, and am puzzled why it was necessary to let me starve for an additional month. What's UP with these peeps? Oh, and the manometry is scheduled for Tuesday. At seven in the morning (So I have to leave here at five.) Wish me luck, whatever that means in this case. xox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
