Semaglutide and gallbladder disease risk — my results so far

Congrats lisa_labSD!! Keep going — you're doing incredible. 🎉

Reading this thread on Semaglutide and hits close to home. Night shift nurse — I started at 283 lbs and felt like I would tried everything.

9 months on tirz and I am a different person. Not just the 58 lbs lost — my energy, my mood, my relationship with food. All transformed.

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

As a pharmacist, I want to add some clinical context to this discussion on Semaglutide and gallbladder disease risk.

Building on what tampaLisa73 said — the evidence base here is robust. The key publications to reference are from the FLOW program[1].

Key clinical points:

1. Efficacy is dose-dependent and typically requires 4-5 weeks to reach steady state
2. Side effect profile is predictable and usually manageable with standard protocols
3. Monitoring should include baseline labs and follow-up at 3-month intervals
4. Patient education significantly improves outcomes and adherence

DerekSJ_a1c — wow. I've been looking for this exact info for weeks.

Adding my data to this Semaglutide and discussion:

Protocol: Semaglutide 1.7mg/wk, resistance training 3x/wk, protein 1.3g/kg/day.
