Can Colonoscopy Prep Be Used To Lose Weight?
Hello, i am trying to loose a few pounds before my wedding on Sunday. I was thinking of doing a colonoscopy prep the dulcolax/mirala method. I have been on the liquid diet for the day and have already had 2 BM one this am that was a solid and one this afternoon which was liquid. Is it safe to continue with the colon prep this afternoon?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, ideally if the colonoscopy is to be done then it is better to see the gastro surgeon because one should be qualified for this and this decision surgeon can only takes because clinical examination is must rather than preparation for procedure hope this information helps
