I had to take Fleet's Phospho Soda the day before. Choking that stuff down was the worst part of the entire procedure.

I've heard this is for GBs as well - because their intestines are involved. Seems like it wouldn't hurt for bandsters though, since I hear some folks have a problem with constipation directly after the surgery. If you clean the works out beforehand, maybe you could avoid that.
