Q: How long do I need to wait to shower after my surgery?
A: Normally, a good rule of thumb is three (3) days, unless otherwise stated by your physician.

Q: How long should I wait to drive after my surgery?
A: If you do not need to take narcotic medications, it is okay to drive.

Q: Do I need to cut my body hair before the surgery?
A: No, the operating attendants will use clippers. Clippers have been shown to reduce your chance of infection.

Q: Do I need to do anything prior to my surgery?
A: Instructions will be given at the time of scheduling, but normally you should not eat or drink past midnight the night before your surgery. Also, you should wash the areas to be operated on with antibacterial soap the night before and morning of the surgery.

Q: The prep for my colonoscopy is making me nauseated. What can I do?
A: Try adding ginger ale or apple juice. Be sure to finish all the prep though; a non-clean colon means the doctor may have to repeat or reschedule.

Q: I'm constipated. What can I take?
A: Try Magnesium Citrate or Citroma, available at supermarket or 99 cent stores. Get one bottle and take 1/2 bottle with ginger ale or apple juice, wait 4-6 hrs. If still no bowel movement then take other half of the bottle, this will work.

Q: I'm very nauseated. What can I take?
A: Go to a pharmacy, no script needed, and pick up bottle of Emetrol. Take as directed works very well.

Q:  How long will it take to schedule my surgery?

A:  Usually the office can schedule within 7 business days.
