Thanks alot for letting me know. They did nothing like that before I had my lap in August. I'm going to have to have another lap soon to remove my gallbladder, do I still need to do the prep?? I will have a different dr doing this, so maybe he will mention it. If not, you can bet that I will. Thanx alot, Take Care and God Bless, Amanda --- Belle Browne <anonymous@obgyn.net> wrote: > Sorry Kristy,
