Same experience here with Oral GLP-1 for elderly. A1cHero_PHX described it perfectly.

I respect KarenAZ_mom perspective but I think this oversimplifies things a bit. Re: Oral GLP-1 for elderly — the effect size varies considerably by population.

I am not saying KarenAZ_mom wrong entirely — just that the picture is more nuanced than a blanket statement. The SURMOUNT data specifically shows baseline BMI-dependent responses.

Reading this thread on Oral GLP-1 for elderly hits close to home. Dad of 2 checking in — I started at 297 lbs and felt like I would tried everything.

13 months on tirz and I am a different person. Not just the 72 lbs lost — my energy, my mood, my relationship with food. All transformed.

If you are on the fence about Oral GLP-1 for — take the leap. It was the best health decision I have ever made. ❤️

sarah_TO — that is really helpful context on Oral GLP-1 for elderly. Follow-up question: did you experience any side effects during this phase?

I am in a similar situation (about to start) and trying to set realistic expectations.
