I've had a few egd's those are as you mentioned scoped. Basic a camera in your tummy. Most likely they want to make sure things are passing smoothlyu they do a barium swallow. You would have had one of those before being discharged. I hope nothing to invasive. Did they say to have someone drive you? My egd's have all been under anesthesia.

Sounds like what I had done - in my case they sedated me - put a tiny camera down my throat to see what was going on with my pouch. I did not find it all that bad. I hope they figure out what is wrong.

An endoscopy, probably.  Maybe an upper GI, but more likely an endoscopy (which is a scope).
