DerekSJ_a1c's experience with Has anyone dealt with resonates deeply with mine. I went through almost the identical process — starting dose, titration timeline, side effects, everything.
The main difference: I titrated faster. But the overall trajectory has been remarkably similar. Down 32 lbs in 7 months.
One thing I would add that DerekSJ_a1c did not mention: the relationship with food fundamentally changed.
Thanks for sharing this, DerekSJ_a1c. A few questions about your Has anyone dealt experience:
I am in a similar boat and trying to learn from others' experiences before my next appointment.
OP here — wow, did not expect this much response! Thank you all for the thoughtful replies on Has anyone dealt with.

Quick update: things are still going well. Thanks again for the evidence-based discussion — this is exactly why I posted in a science-based community. 🙏
Relevant to Has anyone dealt with showed — here is my latest bloodwork comparison:
Key improvements: A1C 8.4% → 5.5%, triglycerides 245 → 115 mg/dL, hsCRP 8.0 → 0.9 mg/L. All on tirzepatide for 13 months.
The inflammatory marker drop is what impresses me most. Consistent with the SELECT trial's cardiovascular findings.
