First seen Dec 15, 2025 · Last updated May 13, 2026 · Updated 22 times

Summary

This study looks at people taking GLP-1 or GIP medications (like Ozempic) who need surgery or a colonoscopy. It compares standard fasting (nothing to eat or drink for 8 hours) to a 24-hour clear liquid diet to see if there's leftover food in the stomach. Using an ultrasound, researchers will measure stomach contents to help make surgery safer for these patients.
