Just wanted to say — for anyone reading this DEXA + InBody + thread who is feeling discouraged: it gets better. The first 6 weeks are the hardest. Hang in there. 💪
Slightly tangential to DEXA + InBody + photos but mike_mod reminded me — what is the latest on the oral formulations?
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.
Want to share my personal experience related to DEXA + InBody + photos the since I think it might help others in a similar situation.
I started my GLP-1 journey in October 2024 at 271 lbs with prediabetes and hypertension. My endocrinologist prescribed semaglutide 0.25mg to start.
Now, 18 months later: I am down 66 lbs, my labs have normalized, and I am off 2 of my 3 medications. The DEXA + InBody + aspect specifically was something that made a big difference in my journey.
This community helped me every step of the way.
Clinical perspective on DEXA + InBody + photos the most:
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 proper titration prevents most adverse events.
For this specific question, I would recommend: reviewing the relevant clinical guidelines.
