Hi. Can anyone tell me when you have in EGD in the pre-op stage? Thank you. God Bless.

My insurance requires 6 month supervised diet and my surgeon schedules EGD between visits #5 and #6.

I got to do a 6 month diet and just started it and already did my EKG

I did not have EGD done by my surgeon prior to surgery. I had a known large hiatal hernia which the surgoen repaired at the time of banding and I was being followed by a gastroenterologist who did full endoscopy (upper and lower) at the end of last year. I think it is surgeon's discretion. If you have particular concerns then you should discuss them at preop visits.
