mcco5543 mcco5543 Member Registered: 09/05/03 Posts: 39	Member Registered: September, 05 2003 Posts: 34 So my question is? What are your methods for DIY bowel prep for surgery?? I am an L4/L5 para from Spina Bifida.... i may have to do bowel prep for surgery. (hopefully not, since I've never had to do it for this surgery (bladder stones) before, but it's a new surgeon. So will see...but I digress... Anyway, I can't drink the magnesium Citrate or golytly because I instantly puke it up (sorry for being gross). This is not a theory or a fear. It's a proven reality. I am also supposed to do an ennema which will never happen because my rectal muscles are completely paralysed and I've been there and "tried that" many many times as a kid. Never was successful and was always a disaster. Background info that may be pertinent: I currently manage my bowels by eating/not eating certain foods as well as a hot shower to relax my muscles and I manually stimulate to eliminate my bowels. I keep myself slightly constipated on purpose to avoid accidents. So I know there's fecal matter in there that can come out prior to surgery. And my own plan would be to eat the foods that I know make me "go like crazy" and then get on clears the day before surgery. That's the best this surgeon's gonna get from me unfortunately. I've tried all the other "bowel" programs and no other program

If you are not sure which medicines you should take the morning of your surgery, ask your doctor or nurse. If you are not sure, bring your medicines with you to the hospital and ask when you first arrive. Bring all medications you usually take (in the original containers) to the hospital with you. Thanks Andrya _________________________ Nowadays surgical procedures e.g. fettabsaugung are used mostly.
