Reading this thread on Has anyone dealt with hits close to home. Dad of 2 checking in — I started at 261 lbs and felt like I would tried everything.

7 months on tirz and I am a different person. Not just the 36 lbs lost — my energy, my mood, my relationship with food. All transformed.

If you are on the fence about Has anyone dealt — take the leap. It was the best health decision I have ever made. ❤️

Moderator note: Great discussion, everyone. Just a reminder to keep things civil and evidence-based.

Thread quality is excellent — keep it up. 👍

Relevant to Has anyone dealt with — here is my latest bloodwork comparison:

Key improvements: A1C 8.4% → 5.5%, triglycerides 213 → 113 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 dan_philly! This is incredibly helpful. Taking this to my next appointment. 🙏

+1 to maya_sedona. Especially the point about "Has anyone dealt with is exactly what I..." — I have seen the same in my own experience with Has anyone dealt with .
