Colonoscopy

Anyone had one Post WLS???..

It looks like the day before I will be on the same liquid diet pre-RNY surgery..Jello, broth,water etc..

Anyone have any issues? thoughts? concerns?

I have it scheduled for next Monday June 10th... so I start prep this Sunday.

I tend to be constipated and my gut motility is not very fast.

Over the years I learned that to get really clean before my colonoscopy I need to do 2 days of the cleansing diet. Just one day is not enough for me.

My friend who had RNY - does as they told her to do, have just liquids and start cleansing in a middle of the day and it worked for her.

We are individual with different configuration and different gut motility. (How fast food travels from your mouth all the way to get eliminated). Due to different reasons my time is 36 hours +/-3.

Normal should be 12-24. The colonoscopy cleaning may tell you if your is normal, fast or slow.

I did a MoviPrep, adding crystal light for flavor and was as clean as a whistle!

I didn't find it difficult at all, to be honest.

Moviprep?

a brand name for one of the several preps that a dr might prescribe

I have had several in the 9 years I have been post op. Always did the prep prescribed as told and never was told I wasn't clean enough to be viewed. No problems at all.

If you can't tolerate the prep pre-surgery, likely will still be an issue (my wife should never try to do one again - she absolutely can't drink the stuff and gets yelled at all the time for incomplete viewing). If no issue, then likely no issue. I have always been fine and was fine last year with the prep and one day.
