Guest guest Posted October 30, 2000 Report Share Posted October 30, 2000 Sally, I did not have the Barium test. I believe Dr. Thayer told me that he flushes the pouch and checks for leaks before he closes. - Alice A.

Guest guest Posted October 30, 2000 Report Share Posted October 30, 2000 Alice, Thanks. That sounds good to me. He just had me have the barium swallow preoperatively to see my hiatal hernia which he said was " as big as my handbag " . Sound like him? He is going to fix that while he is in there. Thanks. Sounds good to me however leaks are checked for so long as they are checked. Again thanks, I scare easily nowadays. I have gone through a lot for him preoperatively. See you Thursday.

Guest guest Posted October 30, 2000 Report Share Posted October 30, 2000 Sally, Your fear is totally understandable. He’s nutty sometimes, but don’t ever be afraid to press him with questions or ask for tests or whatever. He’ll take care of you. - AA Sally MacDuff wrote: > Alice, > Thanks.

Guest guest Posted October 30, 2000 Report Share Posted October 30, 2000 Maura, Thanks for your message. Hopefully, he is testing during the surgery before closing. How are things going for you? Are you going Thursday night? I plan to be there.
