Re: Upper gi screening
If you are having an endoscopy, then, yes, you will need a driver. They put you to sleep for that procedure.

Re: Upper gi screening
I would call them first thing in the morning, if your appt is late enough where you can. Otherwise, take someone just to be safe.

Re: Upper gi screening
I'm having surgery in a few weeks and the dr has not said anything about an endoscopy or upper GI. Does everyone get them? I had an ultrasound of my abdomin -- is that cover the same problem as endoscopy?
