What's it called??
Ok I'm at my dr office and want them to look at my band. What is that called? Do you swallow something? Uh, I feel dumb but I am hoping that someone can tell me quick. Thanks!!

Upper GI ( where you stand and drink the barium )
It was the Upper GI was what I was thinking but my doctor ended up ordering an endoscopy which will hopefully also get a glance around the band and be hopefully just as good.

The endoscopy is the most thorough. I had one when my surgeon thought I had an ulcer. It turned out to be just irritation from eating too much popcorn. OTC Prilosec and a total unfill for 2 weeks took care of everything.
Keep us posted. I'm praying for you!
