+1 to DataDave. Especially the point about "NateNeph perspective but I think this ov..." — I have seen the same in my own experience with Therapy is just as.

Want to share my personal experience related to Therapy is just as important since I think it might help others in a similar situation.

I started my GLP-1 journey in October 2024 at 285 lbs with prediabetes and hypertension. My endocrinologist prescribed semaglutide 0.25mg to start.

Now, 16 months later: I am down 45 lbs, my labs have normalized, and I am off 2 of my 3 medications. The Therapy is just as aspect specifically was something that made a big difference in my journey.

This community helped me every step of the way.

rachel_ABQ — that is really helpful context on Therapy is just as. 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.

To answer FitDadDave's question specifically:

From a clinical standpoint, Therapy is just as important is something I discuss with patients regularly.

The short answer: discuss this specific situation with your prescribing provider.

The longer answer involves weighing the risk-benefit ratio for your individual situation, which I am happy to elaborate on if helpful.
