Pausing Mounjaro for Surgery

[GloiredeDijon]

I had heard that mounjaro should be paused prior to surgery but I had my pre op assessment and was told they now advise to keep taking it as usual or if I prefer I can skip one dose but it isn't necessary.

The medical team say they are able to manage patients on mounjaro without interrupting dosing.

They advised that fasting for 12 hours before the operation is enough.

I'm really surprised.

What advice has anyone else been given?
I'm wondering if this varies from surgeon to surgeon / NHS Trust to NHS Trust.

I had an op under GA last month. My anaesthetist advised that I stop eating 18 hours before the op and no liquids for 12 hours before.

She was fine with me taking MJ as normal. I decided to miss my jab 5 days before the op and then take it 2 days after. So basically I had a 2 week gap between jabs.

Good luck for your procedure!
