Hot take incoming: why does it stop working after.
I know this is controversial here but I think the conventional wisdom on this topic might be overly simplistic. Before you grab your pitchforks, hear me out.

Change my mind. Seriously — I want to be wrong about this if I am.

Gonna push back on this one. Why does it stop working after a is not that straightforward in my experience. I have been on this for 18 months and the reality is messier than the trials suggest.

I have managed ~150 patients on GLP-1 therapy and this topic comes up frequently. What the data shows — and what I see in practice — is that the medication works best as part of a comprehensive approach.
For this specific question, I would recommend: getting comprehensive baseline labs first.

I respect LarryQC_SD perspective but I think this oversimplifies things a bit. Re: Why does it stop working after — the subgroup analyses show meaningful heterogeneity.
I am not saying LarryQC_SD wrong entirely — just that the picture is more nuanced than a blanket statement. The SURMOUNT data specifically shows baseline BMI-dependent responses.
