Wearing a CGM may interfere with certain tests such as CT, MRI, or endoscopy. Please contact us ahead of time so we can advise you on how to prepare properly.

Skip your Wegovy dose once before your endoscopy.

On the day before your exam, eat only clear liquids for breakfast, lunch, and dinner - avoid all diary products.

- Allowed: water, sparkling water, pulp-free juice (apple, grape), soda, sports drinks, clear broth, plain gelatin (no fruit), honey water.

- Not allowed: diary (milk, yogurt, milk tea), soups with solids, rice porridge, rice drinks.

If you cannot skip your dose, food may remain in your stomach, which can affect the accuracy of the exam and increase the risk of aspiration.

Taking these medications can increase the risk of bleeding during an endoscopic biopsy.

- If you take aspirin as an preventive measure only, stop taking it one day before your screening.

- If you take aspirin or other blood thinners to treat a heart condition (heart attack, angina, stroke, valve disease, arrhythmia, or embolism), do not stop your medication without talking to your doctor first.

- If you need to continue taking these medications, please be aware that some biopsy procedures may be limited to your safety.

- If you take other circulation-related medications besides aspirin, please contact us in advance for specific instructions.

Please take your blood pressure medication in the morning with a small sip of water before coming in for your screening.

If you have had surgery or a medical procedure within the past year, some tests may not be appropriate. Please contact us in advance to discuss which screenings are suitable for you.
