Has anyone dealt with fibrosis regression on glp-1?

Has anyone dealt with fibrosis regression — I finally have something positive to report and wanted to share.

After 6 months of ups and downs, things are clicking. My latest measurements confirmed what I have been feeling — this is working.

Not trying to brag — I know everyone's journey is different. Just want to put some positive energy out there for anyone who needs it today. ❤️

Gonna push back on this one. Has anyone dealt with fibrosis is not that straightforward in my experience. I have been on this for 18 months and the reality is messier than the trials suggest.

Don't get me wrong — the medication works. But adherence is harder than people admit. We should be honest about that.

This is exactly right. JenMemphis articulated what I have been trying to explain to my friends for months. The Has anyone dealt with aspect is what made the difference for me.

Clinical perspective on Has anyone dealt with fibrosis:

I have managed ~150 patients on GLP-1 therapy and this topic comes up frequently. What the data shows — and what I see in practice — is that the medication works best as part of a comprehensive approach.

For this specific question, I would recommend: getting comprehensive baseline labs first.

I respect BethLabQueen perspective but I think this oversimplifies things a bit. Re: Has anyone dealt with fibrosis — the subgroup analyses show meaningful heterogeneity.

I am not saying BethLabQueen wrong entirely — just that the picture is more nuanced than a blanket statement. The SURMOUNT data specifically shows baseline BMI-dependent responses.
