abdominal ultrasound related to GERD surgery

My GI doctor recently referred me to a surgeon because my reflux is no longer controlled with 2 Nexium and 2 Pepcid daily.  I really want to get the surgery (also have a hiatal hernia) and get my life back.  I had the endoscopy and the lovely 24 hour test with the tube down my nose and throat, but now the surgeon has ordered an abdominal ultrasound.  I would like to ask him why, but honestly I don't want to risk him not doing the surgery (yes, I am a little desparate).  What would an abdominal ultrasound show that the other tests don't?
