I have not yet had the J tube put in. I am getting a second opinion by doing aonther Barium Swallow Test and Barium Swallow test through the tube I currently have to see if it is truly a swallowing problem versus a reflux problem that is causing my asperations. I did a little test last weekend eating a bit of food and drinking some liquids. I asperated that evening and had a stomach ache and was ill that night and the following day. I just want to check out all my options before I completely give myself up to having a feeding tube the rest of my life.
