For those on Ozempic for diabetes before surgery...

[lunadreams 22]

I'm taking Ozempic for my diabetes. I will speak with my endocrinologist before my surgery, but I'm curious to know if those of you who were taking Ozempic before surgery for diabetes (not for weight loss) continued the Ozempic through/after surgery, or if medications were stopped, or if the injection was replaced by something else? I'm on Ozempic because Metformin caused major Hair loss for me, and I don't want to take it.

I just visited my endo and discussed this. Her opinion was to monitor my sugars post op and that if my sugars were fine after surgery I shouldn’t need Ozempic or Metformin anymore. Definitely a conversation to have with your doctor.
