No Bowel Prep Question
Did anyone who didn't have a bowel prep find that it was pretty easy to start having BM's after surgery was all said and done?
I am not having a bowel prep unless they do it in the hospital. I am happy that I don't have to go through one at home and was thinking is it harder to get going with or without a bowel prep?

Re: No Bowel Prep Question
I didn't have to do a bowel prep before my TVH and I didn't have any problems afterwards. My only pre-op instructions were nothing by mouth after midnight the night before and I just ate normally the day before. I hope everything goes well for you!

Re: No Bowel Prep Question
I didn't have to bowel prep prior to my surgery and was also worried about bowel movements following surgery. I had no problems following. I recommend get up and walk as soon as able in hospital and take what ever they offer for your bowels. You will do just fine.

Re: No Bowel Prep Question
I do have some Mirilax and Colace standing in the wings in case I need it. I also have Apple-Cran juice, prune juice, ginger ale, raisins, prunes and peaches waiting for my arrival at home after I am out of the castle! I almost sound over prepared!
