I was just scheduled an ultrasound in my abs. What are they looking for when they do this?

There are many organs they can look at. Why don't you ask the doctor what he is looking for?

Never heard of a pre-op ultrasound. They did an EGD on me to have a look around the upper digestive system to search for "surprises". Is the ultrasound is in lieu of an EGD?

I asked and the lady who scheduled it said they do it with all weight loss patients.

They found gallstones when I has my upper GI so my surgeon scheduled an ultrasound to see if she will have to remove my gallbladder during surgery

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
