Do I really need bloodwork every 3 is not that straightforward in my experience

This is exactly right. TirzTom articulated what I have been trying to explain to my friends for months. The Do I really need aspect is what made the difference for me.

Reading this thread on Do I really need hits close to home. Dad of 2 checking in — I started at 269 lbs and felt like I would tried everything.

15 months on tirz and I am a different person. Not just the 44 lbs lost — my energy, my mood, my relationship with food. All transformed.

If you are on the fence about Do I really need — take the leap. It was the best health decision I have ever made. ❤️

GenomicsKate — that is really helpful context on Do I really need. Follow-up question: how long did you wait before increasing your dose?

I am in a similar situation (week 4) and trying to set realistic expectations.

To answer julia.endo's question specifically:

From a clinical standpoint, Do I really need bloodwork is a reasonable concern that deserves a thorough answer.

The short answer: the evidence supports this approach for most patients.

The longer answer involves reviewing the specific clinical trial data relevant to your question, which I am happy to elaborate on if helpful.
