Want to share my personal experience related to Medical tourism for GLP-1 since I think it might help others in a similar situation.
I started my GLP-1 journey in March 2025 at 279 lbs with metabolic syndrome. My telehealth provider prescribed semaglutide 0.25mg to start.
Now, 10 months later: I am down 54 lbs, my labs have normalized, and my sleep apnea has improved dramatically. The Medical tourism for aspect specifically was something that made a big difference in my journey.
This forum was my go-to resource throughout.
Dr.BariatricHTX — that is really helpful context on Medical tourism for GLP-1. Follow-up question: did you change anything about your diet at the same time?
I am in a similar situation (month 2) and trying to set realistic expectations.

The short answer: follow the standard titration protocol and reassess at 4-6 weeks.
The longer answer involves pharmacokinetic considerations around steady-state concentrations, which I am happy to elaborate on if helpful.
