Gallon Prep Instructions
This bowel preparation requires a little organization but is an extremely important part of your colonoscopy to ensure you have the highest quality exam. Bowel preparation starts days prior to your procedure, as you need to stop taking certain medications or supplements and change your diet. If you do not follow these directions, your colonoscopy may be cancelled.

Transportation on the day of your procedure
Did you arrange your ride?
- You must bring an adult (18+) with you. They need to stay in the facility the whole time and take you home after your procedure.
- You cannot go home alone (no walking, bus, taxi, Uber, etc.). If you don’t have someone to take you, your procedure will be canceled.
- You will be at the facility for approximately 2 hours, and your driver is required to check in with you and stay at the facility until you are discharged.
Low Fiber Diet
Wondering what to eat before your your GI procedure?
A low fiber diet limits the amount of food waste that must move through the large intestine.

($75 Physician cancellation fee from Gastroenterology of the Rockies + $225 Facility cancellation fee from the endoscopy center).
