Relevant to Loose skin after major weight — here is my latest bloodwork comparison:
Key improvements: A1C 7.2% → 5.3%, triglycerides 203 → 103 mg/dL, hsCRP 6.0 → 0.9 mg/L. All on tirzepatide for 7 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 Loose skin after major weight since I think it might help others in a similar situation.
I started my GLP-1 journey in October 2024 at 274 lbs with prediabetes and hypertension. My endocrinologist prescribed semaglutide 0.25mg to start.
Now, 10 months later: I am down 64 lbs, my labs have normalized, and I am off 2 of my 3 medications. The Loose skin after aspect specifically was something that made a big difference in my journey.
This community helped me every step of the way.
