Reading this thread on My doctor says stay on hits close to home. Dad of 2 checking in — I started at 265 lbs and felt like I would tried everything.

11 months on tirz and I am a different person. Not just the 40 lbs lost — my energy, my mood, my relationship with food. All transformed.

If you are on the fence about My doctor says stay — take the leap. It was the best health decision I have ever made. ❤️

Relevant to My doctor says stay on 1mg but — here is my latest bloodwork comparison:

Key improvements: A1C 7.6% → 5.5%, triglycerides 237 → 107 mg/dL, hsCRP 8.0 → 1.3 mg/L. All on tirzepatide for 17 months.

The inflammatory marker drop is what impresses me most. Consistent with the SELECT trial's cardiovascular findings.

Thank you PharmHunterJen! This is incredibly helpful. Taking this to my next appointment. 🙏
