+1 to Dr.PainCLE. Especially the point about "Re: My dad had a heart attack and — the ..." — I have seen the same in my own experience with My dad had a heart attack.

Want to share my personal experience related to My dad had a heart attack and since I think it might help others in a similar situation.

I started my GLP-1 journey in March 2025 at 274 lbs with metabolic syndrome. My telehealth provider prescribed semaglutide 0.25mg to start.

Now, 6 months later: I am down 89 lbs, my labs have normalized, and my sleep apnea has improved dramatically. The My dad had a heart aspect specifically was something that made a big difference in my journey.

This forum was my go-to resource throughout.

NurseKim_ATL — that is really helpful context on My dad had a heart attack. 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.

To answer JakeSmashed95's question specifically:

From a clinical standpoint, My dad had a heart attack and is well-supported by the literature.

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.
