How long are the effects of this

I was told by my Dr.'s office to drink 10oz of Magnesium Citrate at 4pm today (Sunday)....my surgery is at 7:30am on Monday morning....I am wondering how long the effects of this are going to last...I will be making an hour and 1/2 trip to the hospital on Monday morning and I don't want any "surprises", as there are no bathroom facilities along the way...and since Oklahoma is known for it's "rattlesnake hunts", you can bet your sweet *&% I am not going to pull over along side the road!! lol So, I was wondering if it would hurt if I took this stuff, say, at around noonish instead of waiting until 4pm... I am on clear liquids until midnight, then NPO either way...just thought the extra 4 hours might turn out to be a blessing.. anybody have any ideas on this?? I could sure use some help here......thanx in advance!! Love & Light...Lisa
