Subscribing to this thread. My 200-lb weight loss is exactly what I've been researching. 🙏

OP here — wow, did not expect this much response! Thank you all for the thoughtful replies on My 200-lb weight loss .
To answer PharmD_Rodriguez: I get my labs done through Quest every 3 months.
Quick update: my latest labs came back even better. Thanks again for the evidence-based discussion — this is exactly why I posted in a science-based community. 🙏

Relevant to My 200-lb weight loss anyone — here is my latest bloodwork comparison:
Key improvements: A1C 8.0% → 5.3%, triglycerides 227 → 97 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.

This is exactly right. Dr.PathRoch articulated what I have been trying to explain to my doctor for months. The My 200-lb weight loss aspect is the most important factor.

Slightly tangential to My 200-lb weight loss but chris_chi24 reminded me — has the insurance landscape changed recently?
I know it is not exactly on-topic but it seems related enough to ask here rather than starting a new thread. Apologies if this has been covered — I did search first.
