Hot take incoming: has anyone dealt with coronary artery.

I know this is controversial here but I think the conventional wisdom on this topic might be overly simplistic. Before you grab your pitchforks, hear me out.

My argument is based on conversations with my provider who has a different perspective.

Change my mind. Seriously β€” I want to be wrong about this if I am.

KarenAZ_mom's experience with Has anyone dealt with resonates deeply with mine. I went through almost the identical process β€” starting dose, titration timeline, side effects, everything.

The main difference: I started 3 months later. But the overall trajectory has been remarkably similar. Down 42 lbs in 7 months.

One thing I would add that KarenAZ_mom did not mention: the mental health improvements were just as significant.

Thanks for sharing this, KarenAZ_mom. A few questions about your Has anyone dealt experience:

  1. What dose are you currently on?
  2. How long before you noticed significant changes?
  3. Did your doctor have any specific recommendations about Has anyone deal?

I am in a similar boat and trying to learn from others' experiences before my next appointment.

OP here β€” wow, did not expect this much response! Thank you all for the thoughtful replies on Has anyone dealt with.

To answer HPLC_Greg: I get my labs done through Quest every 3 months.

Quick update: my latest labs came back even better. Thanks again for the evidence-based discussion β€” this is exactly why I posted in a science-based community. πŸ™

Relevant to Has anyone dealt with coronary β€” here is my latest bloodwork comparison:

Key improvements: A1C 7.2% β†’ 5.3%, triglycerides 195 β†’ 95 mg/dL, hsCRP 6.0 β†’ 1.3 mg/L. All on tirzepatide for 11 months.

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