Hey, I'm no doctor but even I could've told you this would eventually happen.

People should just do cocaine like normal Americans used to.

Correlation is not causation. I listen to this but reserve judgement until further research is done.

Probably the same when they stick a scope up one’s butt, but Big Pharma hasn’t approved disclosing it, yet.

Cutting back on carbs and getting your blood sugar under control can do much the same thing.

Here’s the key excerpt from the article on why the patients taking Ozempic are more likely to aspirate food during an endoscopy:

Dr Rezaie said that GLP-1 medications may lead to aspiration pneumonia ahead of an endoscopy because the drugs slow digestion, which makes food sit in the stomach longer.

As a result, the stomach may not be completely empty while a patient fasts, which is required before an endoscopy to get a clear picture.

This could cause choking because while a person is under general anesthesia, contents from the stomach may move up to the mouth and enter the trachea and the lungs.

It is recommended to go a specific number of hours without eating or drinking before you have an endoscopy (or any surgery). Ozempic slows food from passing out of the stomach, thus you are more likely to still have food in the stomach at the end of that time.

I expect that the simple way to handle this is to extend the fasting time if you are taking Ozempic.

I guess this is because these E-Z Pills cause the stomach to empty out more slowly. That would throw the fasting times for endoscopies off.

No E-Z pills for me. I’ll just keep eating fewer calories.

Health does not come from pills unless you are actually sick.

Eating too much and getting fat is your body functioning normally. Your cholesterol level is your body functioning normally. Taking a pill when your body is functioning as it should is stupid and can only lead to problems.

This is non issue if doctors are aware.

Seems like only an issue if you have endoscopy.

So if you need one your doctor should know if you are on drugs so they can mitigate risks
