Weight loss medication slows down how fast your stomach empties. That means your stomach can be fuller than expected during surgery. The anaesthetist needs to know this.
What to do
Tell the anaesthetist that you use this medication. Give the name and your dose.
Follow the anaesthetist's advice. They decide whether and when you pause.
Let us know the date. And what advice you were given. Then we will note it in your file.
This also applies to a procedure under sedation.
