If you have already met with your surgeon and their support staff and they didn't mention an EKG or Stress Test, I think you will be fine, but it wouldn't hurt to ask sooner than later if there is anything else they require. Another tip, if you plan on filing for short term disability to help cover the cost of time off after the surgery, you may want to start looking into that as well. It is always easier to say you wish you had done this sooner, but, for whatever reason, you are ready now. Being ready now, 100% ready, will make your success that much easier. Sometimes it takes a culmination of many things to add up to the final push for something like this. It's all worth it.

I filed my paperwork last week for my leave from work. A few people who work at my work were having issues with that when they got their leave paperwork so I wanted to make sure that was done ahead of time I love all your information you have though! Thank you!

My surgeon's office is the one who scheduled everything. I had the endoscopy 2 weeks before scheduled surgery and then all the other tests (chest x-ray, blood work and ekg about a week before scheduled surgery. Talk to your surgeon and find out how they do it.
