Is there a flush for everyone before surgery.

[Rena1979 29]

Have to go to a pre op appointment on Friday, my surgery is scheduled for 3/26/13. I was planning to work on 3/25/13 but if I have to do a flush that's going to be impossible ( I'm a counselor cannot run a session from the bathroom. Lol. So just wondering if the flush is for everyone undergoing surgery!

Thanks!!

I was flushless...but, yeah, the 2 weeks of liquids pretty much did the job!!!

I didn't have any prep before surgery except to be NPO (nothing by mouth) after midnight prior to surgery. Every surgeon and program is different.

I had lost 47 lbs while working with my dietitian and because my BMI dropped from 43 to 36 my Dr didn't want me to do the liquid diet, told me to stop losing weight but I am doing my presurgical flush today cause surgery is tomorrow

*Surgery Scheduled 3/21/13*

I had no two week diet or flush. Just Clear Liquids one day before and nothing after midnight. Good Luck!

Oh ok! Thanks for all the responses. I wish you all hood luck that have up coming surgeries. I have been on a liver shrink for 2 weeks now, but does include food, so not sure what to expect on Friday.

Thanks again!!!

I had 3 days of clear liquids. My surgery is in the morning and I worked all day today with no problem.

I have to to do a flush the morning before my surgery and they said to start my leave that day as I'll be in the bathroom quite a bit.
