Your prep tasks

Nothing left for today — well done.

Coming up

• Read all prep instructions carefully before you start

  Follow the steps as detailed unless your doctor or clinic staff advise otherwise.

  7 days before

• Confirm the clinic knows about blood-thinning, diabetes and weight-loss injection medications

  Do not stop any medication — including semaglutide/Ozempic/Wegovy, tirzepatide/Mounjaro or liraglutide — unless a clinician tells you to.

  7 days before

• Complete your online admission registration at St John of God Hospital

  IMPORTANT: Please commence your admission process by registering at: https://www.sjog.org.au/patients-and-visitors/my-admission. If you need assistance with the admission process, please call St Johns on 1300 863 566.

  7 days before

• If you take a weight-loss/appetite injection, have a clear-liquid day

  Semaglutide (Ozempic/Wegovy), tirzepatide (Mounjaro) and liraglutide slow stomach emptying, so you'll need a clear-liquid day before your admission: a light breakfast, then clear liquids only from 7:00am (morning admission) or from 10:00am (afternoon admission). Ring the clinic on 08 6389 0631 at least 7 days before — never stop the injection yourself. This step doesn't apply if you don't take one of these medicines.

  1 day before

• Start fasting — 12:00 midnight (morning) or 7:00am (afternoon)

  Morning admission: nothing to eat from 12:00 midnight. Afternoon admission: light breakfast finished by 7:00am, then nothing to eat. Water only after that, until 2 hours before.

  Procedure day

• Stop water 2 hours before your admission time

  Water is allowed until 2 hours before you're due at the hospital. Nothing at all after that.

  Procedure day

• Arrive on time with your Medicare Card, Health Insurance Details, and a ride home

  St John of God Hospital Murdoch - you cannot drive yourself after sedation.
