Reply to "Flex sig prep"

Definitely a lot of offices give "one size fits all" directions for scopes without distinguishing between colonoscopies, sigmoidoscopiies and pouchoscopies and you have to speak to your doctor to sift through the boilerplate stuff. My prep may be more than what is needed, but you can do more than what is needed, you can't do less than what is needed. I one year got put in the Yale scope recovery room to wait for my procedure and I heard many docs lecturing their patients that their scopes were crap (literally) because they hadn't prepped properly. My own assistant a year or two ago was made to redo her colonoscopy due to a poor prep. She claimed she did everything she was told, but who knows, maybe she has motility issues or is resistant to laxatives. The point is you don't want to do 2 procedures and with a pouch it's really hard to screw things up unless you have the attitude that you can coast on the prep and fast forward to the day of the procedure. You would really be rolling the dice and pushing the envelope on a possible re-do.
