colonoscopy

Anyone out there have a colonoscopy done after being banded. I am 6 months post-op and am scheduled for my first colonoscopy on the 17th. My GI doc knows about the lap-band so I'm not really worried about the actual procedure. Just worried about the prep I have to start tomorrow. Its a lot to drink and I am worried about getting nauseated. Anyone out there have any experience with this?

I haven't dealt with this yet, but there are preps that require less liquid. Like Fleet's Dilution Solution is 3 8 oz glasses. And something called LoSo prep is only 8 oz. plus some bisocodyl pills and suppositories (I can't tolerate bisocodyl). My gastroenterologist said she would give me one that doesn't need any bisocodyl and is low volume, but I can't remember which one she mentioned. NOT looking forward to it.

Thanks for your help. I will try to get in all this liquid but I may not be able. But I figure since I don't eat very much anyway, there is probably a lot less the clean out.
