Re: Re: Barium meal xray advice needed- go okay? :)

[Guest guest]

thanks for asking lauren

the swallow study went ok. oddly it showed that the liquid pooled in a

pocket in my throat before dropping to my stomach. they didnt seem to think

this was a problem. when we moved on to looking at my stomach i couldnt

drink in the position they wanted me to so i was disappointed that they

quickly gave up on the proceedure and felt a CT scan would be better so now

i am stuck waiting for that! also dont like ct scan as find it so hard to

keep my arms out of way
