I have surgery or a procedure coming up.

Also asked: surgery, anesthesia, colonoscopy, endoscopy, dental surgery, do I stop before surgery Answer: Tell your surgeon and your anesthesiologist that you're on a GLP-1, and tell us the date. Because these medications slow stomach emptying, anesthesia teams often ask patients to hold their dose before a procedure so the stomach is empty.

Don't guess the number of days. Your surgical team's instruction wins, and your provider here will coordinate with it.

Escalate: always. Do not state a hold interval. [CONFIRM: our standard guidance, if any.]

Panel note: also new. Aspiration under anesthesia is the highest-severity gap in v1.
