What Bowel Preparation required before the LIS Surgery for A

Postby pappupager » 15 Oct 2022, 21:40

Hi All
My LIS surgery is scheduled on 10/20. For those who did LIS surgery before, how was you bowel preparation before the surgery? Did you clean your bowel yourself and how? or Hospital cleaned it? For me hospital said no bowel preparation required. I live in Houston. I am really confused why they don't need any bowel cleaning before surgery? They only told me not to eat and drink anything after midnight. My surgery is at 9 AM.
Thanks

Well I am first seeing this 2 days after your surgery so I guess my advice is too late! I honestly can't remember what prep I did if anything. Follow their guidance and you should be fine. Let us know how it came out.
