LAVH prep
Was wondering if anyone knows what you have to do to prepare for a LAVH. I have been worried about having an enema. I had a really bad experience with a high enema when I was in labor w/ DD. Would really hate to have to go through that again. I don't know if any of you have ever had one of those, but it is one of the most unpleasant painless things I have ever had to do, not to mention how embarrassing it was for me. I won't go into any details but if you have ever had one you already know what I'm talking about. Anyone with any words of wisedom would be great. Thanks

Preparing for LAVH
dlw0420,
I'm sorry I can't answer your question and concern because I am having a TAH but I thought I would just drop in and say hi and say how we are going to be together. It looks like the castle is going to have a lot of us there. I hope everything goes smoothly.

Preparing for LAVH
I had to give myself a Fleet enema. Is that the same as a high enema? From what I have read in the posts, different doctors in different parts of the country have different prep methods. You'll find out when you go for your pre-op visit which method your doctor uses.
Good luck to you!

Preparing for LAVH
Hi Dianna: I'm scheduled for a LAVH-BSO on 6/15 and have been ordered by my doctor to use a Fleet enima the night before, nothing to eat or drink after 9:00 p.m. My surgery is scheduled for 7:30 a.m.
Good luck!
