Subscribing to this thread. Cost-effectiveness is exactly what I've been researching. 🙏

Reading this thread on Cost-effectiveness hits close to home. Dad of 2 checking in — I started at 269 lbs and felt like I would tried everything.

15 months on tirz and I am a different person. Not just the 44 lbs lost — my energy, my mood, my relationship with food. All transformed.

If you are on the fence about Cost-effectiveness — take the leap. It was the best health decision I have ever made. ❤️

Relevant to Cost-effectiveness analysis — here is my latest bloodwork comparison:

Key improvements: A1C 8.4% → 5.5%, triglycerides 201 → 101 mg/dL, hsCRP 8.0 → 1.3 mg/L. All on tirzepatide for 17 months.

The inflammatory marker drop is what impresses me most. Consistent with the SELECT trial's cardiovascular findings.
