Laparoscopy for Endo - Dr Reid @ Liverpool public?

"Schlep all the way to Liverpool" - I hope there aren't staff from the hospital on this forum - they might take offense to a comment such as that.

Hope all goes well for your surgery

tk1999 - Sorry, I guess you misunderstood. I was using the word as a noun, as in "A tedious or difficult journey." I don't see how that is offensive to any of the staff? I live an hour and a half from Liverpool, with several excellent hospitals between here and there. Have you ever had a bowel prep? Last time I had one it was difficult not to sh*t myself on the fifteen minute drive to our local hospital. An hour and a half is a long way to go when I have a family here, have to stay 3+ nights and have to undergo a bowel prep. My apolologies if I offended you and thank you for your well-wishes.

Faye - my last bowel prep was similar. It was awful. I'm even thinking of going on a juice fast for a couple of days beforehand in the hope it helps. Dreading a long drive if it's anything like last time. I still needed to go as they wheeled me into the prodedure. I do NOT want to know what I did in there when I was unconscious! (sorry, tmi!). Thanks for the tip about the wipes.

Juniper I so hope I have one like yours next time!

thanks for the tips on recovery, too. I really appreciate the help.
