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.
On their death certificate, they will be listed 60#’s lighter than they would if they died being their normal fat selves.
Maybe they could go from Exotically obese to Morbidly Obese.
