Anyone do a hydrotherap colonic before?



Recommended Posts

It's curious if anyone did a colonic before surgery? I want to ask my dr. but sometimes eastern medicine frowns upon western medicine.

I have a basic theory - I don't do anything wild or different before major procedures.

When I was gearing up for plastics (much bigger surgery than WLS) my doctor wanted to put me on all these herbal remedies to "help". my surgeon vetoed them all - not because they are bad but because herbal remedies can vary batch to batch and because some of them have "unstudied" consequences. He felt, and I agree, it wasn't worth the risk of the unknown.

I dont know a thing about colonics but I am not clear onhow it would help...

It's a form of a colon cleanse but with instant results and improvement of the digestion track.

A colonic is basically where a small hose is inserted in your anus and your colon is gently flushed with warm Water. Then the same Water and the waste products in your colon come back out through the clear hose. I had one once because a co-worker highly recommended them. Although it wasn't particularly physically uncomfortable, it was very weird lying there with a hose up your butt and the therapist commenting on the stuff flowing through the clear hose. I wouldn't do it again.

I don't understand the benefits pre surgery. I do not like to do major new things right before major surgery. ..but that's just me

I think you really don't want to mess with your GI or the bacterial balance prior to surgery.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
