Please read the instructions for your procedure and follow them closely. Since you will be receiving a light anesthesia, it is imperative that you do not eat anything for at least 9 hours before the procedure and don't drink anything (including water) for at least 6 hours. Failure to follow these safety precautions may result in delay or cancellation of your procedure.

The Step-by-Step guidelines will take you from the moment you first plan your appointment to the time you are discharged after your procedure, ready to resume your normal daily activities.

If you have any question at any time, if you feel uncomfortable or are uncertain about the progress of your colonoscopy preparation, please call us. Just click the "Contact Us" button above.
