surgery prep for St V's

Hello everyone, Thanks for all the answers so far,but another one. i keep hearing all these different ways people are told to get ready for thier surgery. At St V's do you go liquids for 2 weeks before or anything like that? Just wondering. Thanks Dianna

For open you do liquids - clear - one day before with a laxitive in the afternoon and for lap you do it for 2 days prior to surgery. Good Luck

Who's your doc? I had Ben Mier great guy. I had lap. 2 day prep. youdrink 1/2 a bottle of fleet with a 8oz glass of water then follow with 8oz. water plus you take a laxitave both days clear liquids. I had a hard time taking the fleet it is real hard to get down. it doesn't taste to bad but it has a wierd thick salt taste that makes it go down hard what I did was mixed it with apples juice it helped with the taste. They will give you all the instructions at your prep day meeting. laxitives and clear liquids. for lap open is a one day prep. of the same. good luck Rynae
