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.
Procedure Cancellation Notice Requirements:
– Procedure cancellations must be made seven (7) business days prior to your appointment.
– Failure to provide the required advance notice will result in a $300 Total Cancellation Fee.
($75 Physician cancellation fee from Gastroenterology of the Rockies + $100 Facility cancellation fee from the endoscopy center).
