+1 to TirzTom. Especially the point about "SurgeonPGH perspective but I think this ..." — I have seen the same in my own experience with Employer wellness.
Want to share my personal experience related to Employer wellness programs since I think it might help others in a similar situation.
I started my GLP-1 journey in March 2025 at 248 lbs with metabolic syndrome. My telehealth provider prescribed semaglutide 0.25mg to start.
Now, 14 months later: I am down 43 lbs, my labs have normalized, and my sleep apnea has improved dramatically. The Employer wellness aspect specifically was something that made a big difference in my journey.
This forum was my go-to resource throughout.

I am in a similar situation (month 2) and trying to set realistic expectations.

From a clinical standpoint, Employer wellness programs 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.
