Do all doctors do EGD?

I can't say they all do an EGD, but since so many doctors do perform it as part of the pre-surgery process, I wouldn't want to have a surgeon that didn't perform one.

I had the EGD and the colonoscopy. I have GERD so the doctor wanted to make sure I had no ulcers or anything else that would cause problems with the surgery. I have seen posts on here where people mentioned they didn't have either, just the barium swallow. Each doctor is different and each patient is different so there isn't any one plan, just many variations. Anyway, other than the cost, the EGD is nothing.... you're asleep through the entire thing.
