What is EGD? I have seen that some are having to have it done before getting a scheduled date for surgery?

Ahh ok, first I have heard of it. Is this something everyone has to do before surgery?

I believe it is required for everyone. The pprocedure is to look inside of your stomach and check that everything is okay and safe for bariatric surgery(:

It's very easy and nothing to worry over if you get it done(:

No, it is definitely NOT required for everyone. I would say it is actually not required more than it is required.

It's an upper endoscopy and I had mine done as part of my pre-surgery testing. I've had two in my lifetime. It's normal and nothing to be worried about. The procedure is just to take photos of your stomach to make sure everything is okay. My doctor put me into twilight for mine, so I didn't feel or remember anything.
