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

They look at gallbladder. Not sure what else.

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
