Hi JK, I am so sorry you are dealing with this and I totally understand how frustrating it all is. So many tests and so few answers. I feel like I have been through so many tests as well these last...

I'm sorry I don't know. I googled it to see if it was but I cannot tell from the pics. I'll ask my doctor when he calls me with the results if I remember. All I can say is it really was terrible and...
Hi guys, well I did it and I managed my full workout while the tube was still in. I don't think I could ever do that impedance test ever again. It was awful for me. The manometry was a breeze but the...
Hi Brianala, for some reason I found the manometry much easier than the 24 hour impedance test which I am suffering through right now. My doctor was impressed with how well I managed the manometry....

Hi Pazshalom, thanks for thinking of me. I am going to copy and paste what I wrote already about this because I am exhausted having slept 90 minutes last night. But if you don't want to read the...
Andy, you can walk out afterwards with propofol. That's exactly what I did after both endoscopies. After speaking with my doctors. Really a breeze. No need to suffer if you don't have to. We certain...
