GI Pre-Procedure Instructions

Colonscopy instructions

If you’re scheduled for a colonoscopy, it is very important that you:

1. Watch our Colonoscopy Prep Instructions video below AND
2. Read your specific Colon Prep Instructions PDF one week before your procedure date.

Please watch the video and read the colon prep instructions right away, since dietary and some medication changes need to start one (1) week before the procedure. Don’t wait until the last day to read the instructions.

Here’s how to correctly prepare for your colonoscopy the week before your procedure:

If you’re scheduled for another GI procedure (that is not a colonoscopy), please download and read your prep instructions one week ahead of time, as some medications may need to be temporarily stopped until the procedure is completed.
