Why Do I Have To Stop Drinking 4 Hours Before My Colonoscopy? |

Answer» We ask that you stop clear liquids four hours PRIOR to your colonoscopy to allow your STOMACH to empty before you receive sedation. Liquids in your stomach can be inhaled into your LUNGS when you are sedated, CAUSING serious complications.
