Loop Ileostomy- Pre Op Bowel Prep

As expected, My surgeon has advised me to do a bowel prep before my loop ileostomy surgery. I've tried nearly everything available in the past , but it usually just results in some oily mucus-like diarrhea. My question is: if I'm not fully “cleaned out”, will they irrigate my colon during the procedure? I know this is a question that should be discussed with my surgeon, but I'm curious if anyone else has experienced this issue before their surgery.

Hi, 

I had loop illeostomy surgery last month. After the surgery my surgeon told me that I had some stool in my jpouch, it didn’t affect the surgery, he said everything went well.

Yes. If u aren't clean enough down there they prep you. Don't worry abt it. U may not even need irrigation. 

Hello,

I had emergency explorarory surgery.  No prep, no ostomy location marking.  I didn't even fill out consent paperwork.  

Surgery was long, but successful.  Reading my post surgical report, lots of stool was cleaned out by the surgeon.  

I am a bit confused .. when your cleaning out your system and take a bowel prep which your doctor should have given you. You will have diarrhea your supposed to it's breaking it up and clearing you out.

I have colon inertia and colon motility issues. When I take laxatives of any sort, they usually don’t produce a lot of stool or any at all.
