Scheduled for my reversal, and the instructions say only to not eat anything after midnight the day before and (obviously) nothing to eat or drink the day of the procedure. My wife is saying I should only have liquids the day before. Should it make a difference one way or the other?

Hey Notaclue, you need more than a clue. Call your doctor and get specific instructions to prep for the procedure. You want to avoid a postponement due to bad prep.
Respectfully,

Geekyjen,
Thanks for the reply. I will be seeing my doctor on Friday and mention Entyvio. I did not remain paralyzed for more than 2 days, but it was terrible and I was so scared. The doctors just used alot of xanax and other drugs like that to UN paralyze my joints that were being attacked by the remicade. Turns out I have been diagnosed with LUPUS. It is attacking my nervous system. I had ulcerative colitis in 1996 and they had to remove my colon. Had a J pouch for 10 years, until it started failing. I then got a permanent iliosomy, and I suffer from severe chronic diareha, and I dehydrate frequently. I recently had a proctectomy, and that is when the new autoimmune disorder, Lupus, appeared. I have had two hospital stays now because of the blisters and the paralyzing incident. I will be dealing with this forever now. I have just been working on acceptance.
I love this website because of wonderful people like you!
