Your health history
A rough note is enough to begin. Bring the names of medicines you use and the health questions you do not want to forget.
The source notes used here were recorded on or before September 26, 2026. Later changes may be missing.
The semaglutide label flags thyroid-cancer history, pancreas or gallbladder problems, serious stomach trouble and diabetes-related eye damage.
The label also makes pregnancy plans, medicines for diabetes and any coming surgery relevant to the discussion.
Write down what you know, including past reactions to medicines. Mark anything uncertain so it can become a question rather than a guessed answer.
Are you seeking help with weight, blood sugar or another diagnosed condition? What is hardest to manage now? What would you like the visit to settle?
Bring any records you already have. Ask the service what information it needs, how to send it and whether someone will read it before the visit.
If a form forces an answer that does not fit, make a separate note. Use the discussion to correct the record.
The Wegovy (semaglutide) label asks patients to tell their team before planned surgery or procedures using medicines that make them deeply sleepy or unconscious.
Semaglutide makes the stomach empty more slowly. The label warns that food left there can enter the lungs during surgery under medicines that make a person unconscious or deeply sleepy.
The label says it is not yet clear whether stopping semaglutide before the procedure reduces this risk.
Wegovy’s label warns that exposure during pregnancy may harm the unborn baby.
Ask the treating and surgical teams to agree on the plan. Bring pregnancy or breastfeeding questions into the same conversation.
