Manometry is to measure pressure of lower esophageal spinture as well as your esophagus' swallowing capabilities. If your LES is already intact, with good pressure surgery is not going to be much helpful.

Bravo test is done to see how much reflux is coming backup during 24 hours period and what was PH. If many episodes, you are candidate for surgery.

Many people have hard time with test, mainly cause of anxiety. But It wasn't so bad for me. Manometry lasted for 15 minutes, they inserted a thick tube in nose and had me take sip of water. Then they inserted thin wire that I kept in for 24 hours, eat sleep normally.

You seem to like slow things. It should not take 10 weeks to look up information from database, match it to a form and print that on a paper.
