Want to share my personal experience related to Has anyone dealt with my dad since I think it might help others in a similar situation.

I started my GLP-1 journey in March 2025 at 267 lbs with metabolic syndrome. My telehealth provider prescribed semaglutide 0.25mg to start.

Now, 14 months later: I am down 42 lbs, my labs have normalized, and my sleep apnea has improved dramatically. The Has anyone dealt aspect specifically was something that made a big difference in my journey.

This forum was my go-to resource throughout.
