Interesting: I don't really understand what that means. It is unlikely that there was any problems caused by an egd. Sometime, large hiatal hernias cause distortion of the stomach. On egd it looks like what u describe. Recommend a ct of abdomen to evaluate. If it is hiatal hernia it can be fixed laparoscopically. Find experienced surgeon.

Talk with doctors...: In life, we don't have to do everything deeming necessary even possible; as well, we don't have to do everything deeming possible if unnecessary. So, decision to do something in medicine should be based on current available knowledge, skill, technology, drug, common sense, ; wisdom to take action at/in reasonable time ; way to reasonable person. Nothing is free but comes with a price. So, ask doc.
