Helpful information to make your visit and treatment journey easier — from your first consultation to procedure day and recovery.
Clear instructions and preparation guidelines to ensure a comfortable, safe experience.
Arrive 15 minutes early to complete any paperwork. Wear comfortable clothing and be ready to describe your symptoms, when they started, and anything that makes them better or worse. If you have visited another doctor for the same concern, bring those records along.
Fast (no food or liquids) for 6–8 hours before your procedure. Inform us about any blood-thinning medication in advance, as it may need to be paused. Since sedation is commonly used, please arrange for someone to drive you home afterward.
On the day
After the procedure
A bowel-cleansing preparation will be prescribed a day or two before your procedure, along with dietary changes such as a low-fibre or clear-liquid diet. Detailed, easy-to-follow instructions will be shared with you at the time of booking.
Eat smaller, more frequent meals, stay well-hydrated, and limit fried, spicy or highly processed foods. Regular physical activity, adequate sleep and stress management all support long-term digestive and liver health — your care plan will include guidance specific to your condition.
