Want to share my personal experience related to Echocardiographic changes on since I think it might help others in a similar situation.
I started my GLP-1 journey in March 2025 at 289 lbs with metabolic syndrome. My telehealth provider prescribed semaglutide 0.25mg to start.
Now, 12 months later: I am down 39 lbs, my labs have normalized, and my sleep apnea has improved dramatically. The Echocardiographic aspect specifically was something that made a big difference in my journey.
This forum was my go-to resource throughout.

Relevant to Echocardiographic changes on — here is my latest bloodwork comparison:
Key improvements: A1C 8.0% → 5.3%, triglycerides 235 → 105 mg/dL, hsCRP 6.0 → 1.1 mg/L. All on tirzepatide for 15 months.
The inflammatory marker drop is what impresses me most. Consistent with the SELECT trial's cardiovascular findings.

Want to share my personal experience related to Echocardiographic changes on since I think it might help others in a similar situation.
I started my GLP-1 journey in October 2024 at 261 lbs with prediabetes and hypertension. My endocrinologist prescribed semaglutide 0.25mg to start.
Now, 18 months later: I am down 46 lbs, my labs have normalized, and I am off 2 of my 3 medications. The Echocardiographic aspect specifically was something that made a big difference in my journey.
This community helped me every step of the way.
