Want to share my personal experience related to Body dysmorphia after since I think it might help others in a similar situation.

I started my GLP-1 journey in March 2025 at 284 lbs with metabolic syndrome. My telehealth provider prescribed semaglutide 0.25mg to start.

Now, 18 months later: I am down 84 lbs, my labs have normalized, and my sleep apnea has improved dramatically. The Body dysmorphia aspect specifically was something that made a big difference in my journey.

This forum was my go-to resource throughout.

Moderator note: Please keep vendor-specific discussions in the Vendor Reviews section.

I have cleaned up a few off-topic posts. 👍

SleepDoc_PDX said:
Body dysmorphia after is exactly what I've been researching

This is exactly right. SleepDoc_PDX articulated what I have been trying to explain to my friends for months. The Body dysmorphia after aspect is what made the difference for me.
