Pressure testing the jpouch before the drop down surgery?

Hope everyone is doing well and is healthy. Well, over a month ago I had my jpouch surgery, the second of the three surgeries. Man was that painful, but I am doing really well now. In about 2-3 weeks my surgeon said I will have to go in and have the procedure of having them pressure test the jpouch, (I don't know the technical name of this procedure), when they pump that stuff in your but and then scan the jpouch and all that. I was wondering how bad that is going to be. With out a doubt I know it's going to be quite uncomfortable to say the least. Can you let me know about your experience with it? If that all goes well, then I have the drop down surgery and finally can get rid of the illesotomy bag thing. God this has been such a long journey. Thank you.
