Upper GI
Going in for an Upper GI tomorrow morning since I'm having pain in my shoulder since surgery last Wed (12/21). After I looked up what the procudure is I'm nervous a little! More than my surgery because I'll be awake while a tube goes down my throat. (*gulp*). Any tips on getting through it easier?

Are you having a procedure with endoscopy? If so, they will be giving you medicine to relax you and you won't really remember anything.
I thought an upper GI generally referred to an x-ray with barium swallow (like a leak test after surgery), but I could be wrong.

Not sure if you are having and upper GI or an endoscopy, but I just had both last week. They are both a piece of cake. For the upper GI, I just had to drink some liquid and they took xrays of my abdomen. For the endoscopy, they put me to sleep and I woke up. I just had a sore throat for about 2 days, but no biggy. Praying for you :)
