To answer AttorneyGrant's question specifically:
From a clinical standpoint, 6-month face transformation is something I discuss with patients regularly.
The short answer: discuss this specific situation with your prescribing provider.
The longer answer involves weighing the risk-benefit ratio for your individual situation, which I am happy to elaborate on if helpful.
Reading this thread on 6-month face hits close to home. Dad of 2 checking in — I started at 293 lbs and felt like I would tried everything.
9 months on tirz and I am a different person. Not just the 68 lbs lost — my energy, my mood, my relationship with food. All transformed.
If you are on the fence about 6-month face — take the leap. It was the best health decision I have ever made. ❤️

COA_Karl — that is really helpful context on 6-month face. Follow-up question: what labs did your doctor order to monitor this?
