🎉 MILESTONE: What is everyone binge-watching this week!
I can not believe I am typing this. When I started this journey I had zero hope.
Numbers: BMI went from 38 to 25.
Thank you to this community for keeping me sane through the hard parts. You know who you are. 🙏

Gonna push back on this one. What is everyone binge-watching is not that straightforward in my experience. I have been on this for 18 months and the reality is messier than the trials suggest.
Don't get me wrong — the medication works. But adherence is harder than people admit. We should be honest about that.

This is exactly right. wanda_boise articulated what I have been trying to explain to my friends for months. The What is everyone aspect is what made the difference for me.
Clinical perspective on What is everyone binge-watching this:
I have managed ~150 patients on GLP-1 therapy and this topic comes up frequently. What the data shows — and what I see in practice — is that the medication works best as part of a comprehensive approach.
For this specific question, I would recommend: getting comprehensive baseline labs first.

I respect tony_orlando perspective but I think this oversimplifies things a bit. Re: What is everyone — the subgroup analyses show meaningful heterogeneity.
I am not saying tony_orlando wrong entirely — just that the picture is more nuanced than a blanket statement. The SURMOUNT data specifically shows baseline BMI-dependent responses.
