Your doctor would have given you a script for 1 box of bowel prep called Moviprep. This is easily available at most pharmacies like Dischem or Clicks. You do not have to get this medication from the WDGMC pharmacy
Your doctor will also email you an information leaflet on how to drink this medication. This may come via Gmail or via Papertrail. Sometimes an email from Papertrail is identified as spam so if you do not see this leaflet in your inbox, please check your junk folder.
Please be aware that we try and stagger the arrival of the patients so that you do not wait in the hospital the entire day for your operations. Also, be aware that theatre timing is not an exact science and there are often unexpected delays. We apologize in advance!
The day prior to your surgery, we will email you and advise on when to arrive, when to stop eating solids, when to stop drinking clear fluids and when to stop both.
If you have not received this information, then please call the rooms or email the office the day before.
