I want to know if my pouch has stretched and or the staple line is normal now I have been scheduled for the upper GI series is this going to tell me what I want to know? I cant see how this drinking crap will show the enlarged pouch? I think Im being passaivied and Im not a dummy and want to reschedule if this is not the test to give me the results I need to get the results I want? So those that have had either of these test your help would be appriciated please. Thanks.

This is the same test that is done to check for leaks post op. The nasty tasting stuff will 'light up' your insides and show on the xrays.

Good luck sweetie!

The upper GI is what my surgeon uses to check to see if thepouch has stretched.  And as Jen said...the nasty tasting stuff does "light up" your insides.  Good luck!
