Lurking from December Board

Hey all...congratulations to all of you who have already had surgery, and about to have surgery...I'm very envious of you! But I've only got 25 days to go, and I'll be in your shoes.

Well, here's my question, and I'm hoping someone can help me with this. My surgery is scheduled for December 7, and I'm due to go away the weekend before. So I guess my question is...what can I expect the day before my surgery. My surgeon doesn't do the two week liquid diet, just the one day...so if I am coming home on the Sunday before my surgery, is this do-able, or should I stay home that day? I know that there is that bowel cleaning thing...but isn't that done in the evening? I also know my surgeon can tell me all this, but I don't meet with her until November 25, and would have to cancel my plans before then.

Any and all help would be greatly appreciated! :)

Jana, you might also post your question on the main Q&A forum to get answers quicker.  Congrats on having a date.  Mine is next Wed., 11/18!  Hooray!

Hi Jana,
I will have surgery this thursday and i have to start the bowel prep thing on Wednesday at 10am and be done drinking it by 12:30pm (only 2.5 hours later) so my surgeon does not do this in the evening but every surgeon is different.
Good Luck with everythign! =)
