Your day-of procedure reminders

Follow these important steps today for the best possible colonoscopy.

Stop Clear Liquids

Stop drinking clear liquids 4 hours prior to your procedure.

Stop all liquids 4 hours before your procedure, or your procedure might get delayed.

No Solid Foods or Alcohol

Remember to continue avoiding all solid foods and alcohol until your procedure is over.

Confirm Cleaned Out

Ensure your bowel preparation was successful. If your stools are clear (urine-colored and/or tea-colored), congratulations — you are ready for your procedure. If your stools are brown or have pieces, you should consider calling your doctor.
