FINALLY  got to schedule a CT Scan - this Friday; however after they told me that I would need to pick up the barrium to drink BEFORE the test - I explained to them that I was a gastric bypass patient and didn't think that would work...etc, etc........... 

then they said I would need to get there 2 hours sooner to drink some clear liquid that would be mixed with crystal lite.....................

She referred to "the type of test" that they are giving me........gastriview ?   is that the "stomach" view...............(looking for umbilical hernia AGAIN)

Praise the Lord you dont have to drink barium!  That stuff is beyond nasty.  Praying for a positive outcome on your tests!

NOthing too worry about.     Having pains where OLD hernia is.......maye another hernia - they are trying to determine if what they saw on the ultrasound was the OLD hernia or a new one at the same spot (near belly button).....it hurts just like it did when I had the surgery 

Hurts when I'm lifting anything.....when I get  up in the morning - that is when it is most noticeable.

I've had all kind of lovely drinks... due to my stomach issues, including barium even with my explaining to them, mostly they just had me drink while I was in the exam room.
Good luck Phyllis- I hope it goes well and that everything works out.
