Hey guys - I have to have a bowel prep for a laparoscopy and have a few questions.
1. Has anyone ever used a Fleet Prep Kit, it has Fleet Phosphosoda, 4 Bisacodyl tablets and 1 suppository!! AHH! Doesnt this sound like a lot!
2. Do you usally make one big trip to the bathroom or is it more like an all night deal?
3. Do you still have D the next day before the procedure?
4. What did you guys drink for the clear liquid diet?
5. How many days did you continue having D?
Well thats all I can think of now but Im sure I will have more questions in the next couple of weeks. Thanks!

Hiya,
Hm, I am pretty sure that you won't just have a one-time trip to the bathroom. Most people just go to and from the potty all day when they do the prep. I think some people are all emptied out by morning, and some still have some left to go.
For more info, go to the Crohns and Colitis board and check out the link at the top "Colonoscopy Prep Made Simple" - that has some great info!
Good luck, hun!

The prep was the worst. The doctor told me to start it in the evening the day before and I think that it was too late of a time. It didnt start working until 12 midnite. I was up most of the nite and then finished just in time before the procedure in the early am.
The clear diet was, plain chicken or beef broth and I had water.
