Newbie here.. inquiring mind

I have not had my surgery yet, and a million questions are still going through my mind, which to date I have been able to find some relevant post to answer

Here is the latest question. Colonoscopies.. If you have the lap band; with the smaller pouch, how do you tolerate the prep. Usually this requires consuming large quanties of that awful liquid to clean out your system. I know that having a normal size stomach it is a challenge, but how do you manage it if you have the band? Sorry, not a glamorous question, but one that has crossed my mind.

Be well...

I believe that you can get an unfill before the procedure.

Also, I read that if you tell them that you have a band or GBS they should be able to order you a different kind of prep. its a different contant and comes in a much smaller bottle.

Also, if you do have to drink the big bottle, start earlier in the day - not at 6 or 7 pm.
