I had to have it done several years ago and they gave me about 6 bottles of some kind of laxative to take.Each bottle was 12 ounces and I was to drink one an hour until they were gone. I drank the first one and then had to set the rest on the sink cabinet next to the stool as I never left it all night. I agree with Pat about having it in the early morning as I was fortunate and mine was at 7 AM. The actual procedure wasn't nearly bad as I had imagined it would be, but that mad dash to the bathroom after it was over was a record setting run. The doctor and nurse told me that I did well as about 1/2 of the people don't make it and they have to clean the floor from the table to the stool. The doctor also told me about one person that while he was bent overworking the probe around and up into the intestines just blew up in his face and he said they had crap on the ceiling. He and the nurse that I had kept telling funny things that happened to try and put me at ease as if after the night before anything was going to do that for a while.
