Congrats on getting your caboose cleaned out!
Just an FYI, people who have diverticulosis frequently have constipation. This can make the bowel prep not as effective. Let your Dr. know if that is the case. You may need to take an additional bowel prep or may need to start clear liquids earlier. last thing you want to do is go there just to have them tell you the prep was inadequate, so come back next week.
There was a Casey's two blocks from the hospital. I had two slices of breakfast pizza on the way home. They were divine!
Make sure they clean the scope real good before the endoscopy.
I was actually admitted to the hospital the first time I had one. Had acute colitis so bad, temperature over 104, they thought it might be a burst appendix. I didn't eat solid food for like 3 days. After my procedure I had a hospital burger and fries with a milk shake, and that goes down as one of the best meals of my life.
Hot damn, that sounds good right now! The look on my wife's face after it took me about 15 seconds to finish two slices of pizza was priceless. I earned the nickname "Snackbar" in college and still wear it proudly.
Just had one a few weeks ago. I also have Diverticulitis. The prep drink wasn’t nearly as bad as I anticipated.
Can the doc give you a good cleaning out while in there or will the drinking of the gallon of cleanout solution do that? I understand you get little pockets of infection with Divert. That's why eating sesame seeds is a no no.
Neither are bad but didn't have to do it from both sides at once. Mine was because I was sick and still didn't have any problems after either.
You'll do fine. Enjoy the propofol.
