Upper G.I. tomorrow morning at 7am
You'll stand in front of an XRay machine, and drink the barium - when they pass you the cup, you'll be shocked at how heavy it was - I sure was! They'll ask you to swallow, and they take pictures. I also did some lying down.
It's simple, and you might feel a bit bloated afterward. It's relatively fast and painless. :)

You should have asked you doctor what to expect.
My experience with upper GI is entirely different than previous poster. My father has them routinely for monitoring his Barretts Esophagus. He gets conscious sedation so he is a bit out of it then they pass a scope down the esophagus into the stomach. For your symptoms they could dialate a stricture if they found one .
Good luck tomorrow!
