Want to share my personal experience related to Echocardiographic changes on since I think it might help others in a similar situation.

I started my GLP-1 journey in March 2025 at 289 lbs with metabolic syndrome. My telehealth provider prescribed semaglutide 0.25mg to start.

Now, 12 months later: I am down 39 lbs, my labs have normalized, and my sleep apnea has improved dramatically. The Echocardiographic aspect specifically was something that made a big difference in my journey.

This forum was my go-to resource throughout.

Relevant to Echocardiographic changes on — here is my latest bloodwork comparison:

Key improvements: A1C 8.0% → 5.3%, triglycerides 235 → 105 mg/dL, hsCRP 6.0 → 1.1 mg/L. All on tirzepatide for 15 months.

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