A member asked:
How much weight can you lose from a colonoscopy pr?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Almost none!: Many people weigh 3 to 5 pounds lighter the day of their colonoscopy, but almost all the change is in loss of fluids, not body mass. As soon as you resume normal hydration and diet, the pounds return.
