JennyBeth 127 Posted March 8, 2013 Upper GI is different than the EGD. An upper GI is an x-ray and you are not sedated for it. Which one are you having? My surgeon required the EGD. An upper GI I have had done in the past and it is an x-ray taken after you drink a barium solution. Neither are fun, but pretty painless. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
