I had one and had no problems. Just make sure they are aware of the fact that you had GBP surgery and they should be able to order you a different kind of prep. I used Fleets Soda, a total of 1.5 oz in 8 oz of water. I had to take this the night before and the next morning. Absolutely no problem at all.

My wife had somestuff that came in a little bottle as opposed to the gallon that I had at my last scope! You might ask about it! In fact it was an over-the-counter stuff she bought at walmart. Yes she was told to do so by the Dr!

I had one! The stuff you have to drink is oh so gross!! Make sure you make it as cold as possible. I didn't think it was working-drank nearly the whole gallon before it started-then, oh my-my!!! Stay close to the bathroom!!! The colonoscopy itself is a piece of cake-prep is much worse than the actual procedure. You are in la la land-and can barely tell what's going on. Then it's over and you go home!

God didn't promise days without pain, laughter without sorrow, nor sun without rain, but He did promise strength for the day, comfort for the tears and light for the way.

Post op and Pre op. No problems, other than after GBS I drank the crap and half of my colon didn't clean out.. so doc couldn't do complete test. Weird.. Janie

I had one scope done last September..... someone told me to mix the prep stuff in half the recommended liquid(I used crystal light) and it worked just fine.... I think it was a little under a quart that I used.... and you drink a little every 15 minutes...... another tip: start earlier in the day(2:00 or 3:00), don't wait until 6:00 or 7:00 at night because then you will be up all night.......!!!
hope this helps.....
