Re: Pre-op no prep? Anyone else???
My pre op was Friday and I didn't get any prep instructions either, other than no eating/drinking past midnight. My surgery is at 2pm, vaginal hysterectomy.

Re: Pre-op no prep? Anyone else???
Please follow your doctor's instructions. They give you those instructions because they expect your body to be in a certain way and if you don't follow those instructions, you risk having them go into surgery unprepared for what they might encounter in your tummies. You do not want your doctors to have surprises that are caused from not being compliant.

Re: Pre-op no prep? Anyone else???
Thanks all. Sounds like my instructions were not unusual so I feel better now. I don't tend to have stomach or bowel problems so this makes me happy - was afraid messing with a good thing would throw my system off. Good luck. Am cutting food at 9 and drinking water to help me stay hydrated till 11. ( just small amounts ). Nothing after midnight. Check in at 9 am and surgery at 11am. See everyone tomorrow on the post op page. Thanks all.

Re: Pre-op no prep? Anyone else???
I just went for my pre-op clinic today and I asked about bowel prep. The nurse said none was required, but if she were going for the procedure, she would make sure her bowel was empty, ie. make sure you have a bowel movement before the surgery. I think I'll just watch my diet in the days ahead and make sure I 'keep things regular'. 'Shredded wheat' mini wheats for breakfast work for me.

Re: Pre-op no prep? Anyone else???
I had my pre-op today (having LSH) and got the disappointing news that I will be taking the magnesium citrate gunk for my bowel prep on the 13th. I was sure to pick up baby wipes when I got my 2 bottles of magic potion. (Great tip from the sisters here!) Guess I won't be doing anything fun the day before my surgery- I was hoping to be out riding my dirt bike one last time before I'm restricted from riding for 6 weeks. Looks like I'll be riding the porcelain throne instead! I'm sooooo jealous of all of you that don't require a bowel prep!
