Preparing for Your Digestive Health Procedure

New Jersey Gastroenterology Services

Many diagnostic and treatment procedures for digestive health issues require some preparation by the patient. A doctor or nurse should go over what’s expected of you long before your scheduled appointment, but in case you need a refresher we have compiled this brief preparation guide for your convenience.

On the following pages, you will find general information on what to do before your procedure and what to expect during recovery. Keep in mind that these steps are broadly applied to many gastroenterology procedures, and specific information regarding your preparation may be slightly different. Never hesitate to contact your doctor if you have questions.
