Hi all, i’m having a resection on the 10th although i’ve done bowel prep for the colonoscopy i’m having a different solution for this called Picolax.

Generally how long does the first bout last for? i had a rough idea for plenvu, i wondered how this differs?

We have a hotel booked local to the hospital and so once things have died down i plan on making the short journey to the hotel with second dose already prepared. I guess we’re all different and you know your body,  but trying to get a rough idea if possible.

In case of an emergency i guess i could take a bucket and some loo roll as a precaution lol.

  • Thanks, ok so far await histology still be just had a request for a flexible sigmoidoscopy, assuming this is to check the work they did down below..

  • Hi Peter, that’s a good outcome, been asked to go for a flexible sigmoidoscopy on 20th of next month after googling it, looks like it’s to check the work they carried out is ok. A nurse will be calling to go over it, but if it’s standard after the procedure then they should perhaps pre-warn you, i was quite concerned at first, but i’m assuming.
