That seems so stupid. My surgeon scheduled my egd first two weeks prior to my surgery in case there were issues.

Mine was done beforehand as well.

I think they want to make sure the stomach is empty. My surgeon is fellowship trained at Duke University. He train for a solid year was the best of the best at Duke. So he does what he was taught there. I just worry they will take a look and say no! Paranoia!

I had one right before surgery. It was like 2 minutes and everything was fine.

There has to be major issues to cause a delay of surgery. I had gastritis (which I already knew about) and a hiatal hernia and the surgeon said it was fine to do surgery. I would've preferred them do both at the same time-why be put out twice and the worst part of any procedure/surgery/childbirth to me is getting the IV to begin with (I HATE NEEDLES!). I even joked with my surgeon that if he wanted to wake me up and say "surprise! You're sleeved!" that would be totally fine by me!
