SUPREP

Your doctor may recommend this bowel preparation for various abdominal or rectal surgeries.  He will provide you with a prescription for this at this office or it may be called into your local pharmacy.

The day before your scheduled surgery, you must drink CLEAR LIQUIDS ONLY. For Dr. Marx, these liquids include water, soft drinks, coffee, tea, popsicles, jello, broth,  or clear juices. 

DO NOT DRINK MILK OR ANY
RED OR PURPLE DRINKS.

Continue to drink these up until midnight to keep yourself adequately hydrated.
