length of time for upper gi and sm. bowel ?

I had an upper gi and small bowel series done today which took about 6 hours to complete.  Others with me were done a lot sooner and I was constantly walking . Why would it take me so long...am I just a slow "digester"?  What do these tests potentially show?

Your at the WRONG forum if you want a doctor to answer your questions.  There is a forum monitored by Dr. Scott Ketevor. Unfortunately I don't know the URL off the top of my head but I'm sure someone else reading this will.  Hope this info help!
