Bowel Prep - prior to tt?
Yes, I was required to swallow a bottle of magnesium citrate. This did not have the desired effect of emptying my bowels of everythin I had consumed the previous two weeks -- nothing happened..
The concern was, it's hard for patients to bear down to make a bowel movement after this kind of reconstructive surgery. I can tel you that pooping a week later was an exhausting activity, and it was pretty much the only thing I did that day other than sleep.
But clearly, doctors vary a great deal in what they require!

That was a good question. I have wondered the same thing. I know after my RNY I had so many problems going. It was terrible! I hope things go differently after TT. Because I know you can't bear down.
When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left, and could say, "I used everything you gave me." Erma Bombeck
