Adolescent obesity: AAP guidelines and GLP-1 use in minors — what worked for you?

Just had to share this with someone who would understand — adolescent obesity aap guidelines and glp-1.

Got my latest A1C and I am genuinely emotional right now. 12 months in and the progress is real.

Details in the comments but wanted to start this thread because I think others going through the same thing need to see that it works.

RunnerRach's experience with Adolescent obesity AAP 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 RunnerRach did not mention: the relationship with food fundamentally changed.

Thanks for sharing this, RunnerRach. A few questions about your Adolescent obesity experience:

1. What dose worked best for you?
2. How long before you noticed appetite suppression kicking in?
3. Did your endo have any specific recommendations about Adolescent obes?

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 Adolescent obesity AAP.

To answer TrialNerd_Beth: yes, I am on compounded sema from a 503B pharmacy.

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 Adolescent obesity AAP — 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.
