When you call to schedule see if they can do the upper GI and swallow study at the same time; that is how we had it done. I was nervous at first, but it is quick. A. had to have the tube put down his nose b/c he would not drink the barium....I was scarred by it more than he was!!! IF he is aspirating(sp?) that is not something you want to mess with it can cause perm. damage to the lungs.
