Ozempic and surgery

While everyone should follow the directions of their doctor about ozempic, you are not doomed if you need emergency surgery.

I had a shot on Wednesday and my gallbladder needed to come out on Thursday night. They actually took it out on Friday. I was npo from essentially 7pm on Thursday, but that is not enough for ozempic. They did what is called rapid sequence intubation, which is what they do for trauma and other emergency surgery. I was apparently hideously nauseous coming out of the anesthesia but i don’t remember it. Thank you Versed!
