I've got a little problem. I received a phone call (an hour ago) from the hospital saying that the machine was faulty again.
I've just had a full meal and 5 minutes ago I just got another call from the hospital saying that the machine is now working. The scan is in 3 hours and I need to have an empty stomach.
I've put this in chatterbank because I expect some crazy replies and it wouldn't be appropriate in B&S.
I do have prep that I used for my colonoscopy, will that help at all or will it just empty my colon?
It is very expensive to run an MRI so it really would be best if you tell them you have eaten. If they scan you and there is food in the stomach or waste in the intestines then it will not give a true result anyway and will have to be done again.
I'm going to struggle making myself sick. I'm on 2 anti emetics. I can try I suppose. Surely the MRI is purely for the purpose of scanning the cyst, not my stomach.
"Because if I mention that I've eaten they will cancel it."
not much point in rocking up for an appointment if you are not in hte state they need you to be, and the procedure results are skewed
