When are they going to call me?
I don't know if everyone gets one; I suspect not. In my intake interview with the doctor, I mentioned frequent heartburn, so he sent me for a scope. It's super important because if you have anything wrong, like an ulcer, it's very bad for them to do the surgery without fixing the problem. And in some cases, they can fix something like a hiatal hernia at the same time as the surgery.
