I went in this morning for the upper GI my surgeon wants his patients to have at 3 mos out. My gastro here at home ordered it for me, and they were super nice, and I got my results from her office just now! Good news--no leak, no obstruction and no ulcer! And I'm down 1 more lb, so I am at my spring challenge goal of 180 lbs that Rosa started earlier this year! :)

Pretty great idea to get an upper GI at 3 months out. Congrats on a clean bill of health, babeee!

Thanks!! My surgeon asks that all his patients do a 3 mo upper GI--I think it's pretty cool, too. :)

Congratulations on reaching your spring challenge goal! 

I'd like an upper GI to see how my pouch and stoma are doing....not sure what it would take to get one since I'm not having any problems.

Thank you!! I'm pretty stoked about it. :) 

Well, I told my gastroenterologist here in MN that he wanted that ordered, and she just said she would be happy to do it. So, that's how I got mine done.

Woo Hoo, congrats on springtime goal and on a clean bill of health.  First I've read about an upper GI after surgery but glad it was all ok.  And spring is officially here next weekend, I think so you are early with your goal.

Thanks, Price! :) My surgeon asks that all his patients have an upper GI 3 mos out. :) I don't know how many actually do it, but I follow my surgeon's directions, so I asked my gastro to order it for me and she had no probs.

Congrats on your CBOH (Clean Bill of Health) and achieving your spring challenge.
What was your challenge, exactly?  Maybe I can get some ideas from that.
