If food is in your colon during your colonoscopy, the food can get in the way of seeing any problems that may exist, like tumors.  \nThe doctor will get the best pictures of your colon when it is completely empty.  \nFollowing these instructions will help ensure that your colon is empty when you come for your procedure.  \nIf your colon is not completely empty, the doctor will not be able to complete the exam. You will need to reschedule the exam and go through the preparation steps again.  \nHow To Contact Us  \n• If you have questions about your colonoscopy or preparation, call 646-962-4000 Monday-Friday (excluding holidays) 9:00 a. m.– 5:00 p. m.  \n• If you are calling Monday-Friday after 5:00 p. m. , during the weekend, or on a holiday, an on-call doctor will return your call.
