Some patients will be asked to follow some instructions to have a low residue/fiber diet for the last 5 days before their surgery. This is to help the bowel empty and help with the surgery. A copy of the information will be available at our office or under the "Resources" tab on our website.
We would also like you to drink about 300ml of Powerade no later than 6 hours before your scheduled surgical time. Do not eat or drink anything after this time. This will help you with recovery.
Please bring your "recovery bag" to hospital as this has handy items like ear plugs and a sleeping mask. Chewing gum during your recovery will also help your gut to get going again.
