I have surgery tomorrow (Friday) at 7:30a.m. and I just realized that I haven't had an EGD... Is this normal?!

All doctors and insurance companies require different tests pre-op.

not necessarily. I had an EGD because he suspected I had a hernia--which I did and he was able to repair. Not everyone needs one. Good luck tomorrow!!! You'll do great. Be sure to take some socks...the rooms are COLD!!!

Did Dr Reilly do your surgery? Where did you have ur EGD? I'm in Texas now and they have me staying at the hotel but they did not tell me if I go to True Results or medical center

You go to True Results on Main. Go to the 8th floor. I also had my EGD done there in July and was banded in August at the same place.

Bless you!!!!!!! after crying my heart out the on call spoke actually got in touch with the doctor and he told me. I'm just an emotional wreck did this decision of getting the band have anybody else emotional like this days before the surgery?

Do you recall if they gave you a locker for your belongings? I have to take my suitcase because my ride is picking me up from there and I don't want them to tell me I can't have it there.

I did not have a locker but I'm sure there is a place they will let you put your suitcase. It only took about 20 minutes for the EGD to be done. Then I was in recovery for about 30 minutes. Good luck to you in the morning. Keep us posted!
