Flex No Sedation, Golytely Prep

Prep for Your Procedure – Flexible Sigmoidoscopy with Golytely

Medications:

• You can take all medications as usual

Responsible Person:

A responsible person needs to be with you at check in, go with you after discharge, drive you home after your procedure and help you with follow up care. This takes about 2 hours from check-in to discharge. You will not be able to drive a car, use machinery, or go to work until the next day. Failure to bring a responsible person will result in your appointment being rescheduled.

Some patients may have temporary memory loss after the procedure because of monitored anesthesia care. You may want a responsible person with you during your discharge to take notes and ask questions about your follow up care. If the patient is under 18 or has a legal guardian, the legal guardian must be with the patient for check-in. If the legal guardian is not able to be with the patient at check in, they will need to be available by phone during the procedure and discharge.
