Has anyone had the test where you swallow the camera the size of a pill and let it pass through your system while it takes pictures?

Just curious, I have to have this done next week, and Im actually wondering how big the camera is, or any other advice you can offer.

Thanks

Cool pic Danny!

I have not had it done and am not allowed to due to a narrowing.

Good luck :)

I heard mixed reviews about it, sounds cool, but when u think about it, just seems to be very shoot and miss, like what if it passes by a bad spot quickly before it gets a pic, good luck on the camera thing

Thanks for the pic danny!

And it takes 54,000 pictures in the course of 8 hrs. They say it snaps two every second, and it sees 140 degrees.

Id say thats not really that hit and miss! :)

I will definitely do that. i went to the site and read some testimonials, and people have had great results with this test! Pretty amazing if you ask me!

The test is on Tuesday morning and I have to wear the patches for 8 hours, so by the end of next week I should have results.
