Slightly tangential to DEXA before/after anyone but Dr.ObesityLA 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.
Relevant to DEXA before/after anyone have — here is my latest bloodwork comparison:
Key improvements: A1C 7.2% → 5.3%, triglycerides 207 → 107 mg/dL, hsCRP 6.0 → 1.3 mg/L. All on tirzepatide for 11 months.
The inflammatory marker drop is what impresses me most. Consistent with the SELECT trial's cardiovascular findings.
Want to share my personal experience related to DEXA before/after anyone have since I think it might help others in a similar situation.
I started my GLP-1 journey in October 2024 at 248 lbs with prediabetes and hypertension. My endocrinologist prescribed semaglutide 0.25mg to start.
Now, 10 months later: I am down 48 lbs, my labs have normalized, and I am off 2 of my 3 medications. The DEXA before/after aspect specifically was something that made a big difference in my journey.

I started my GLP-1 journey in March 2025 at 265 lbs with metabolic syndrome. My telehealth provider prescribed semaglutide 0.25mg to start.
Now, 16 months later: I am down 55 lbs, my labs have normalized, and my sleep apnea has improved dramatically. The DEXA before/after aspect specifically was something that made a big difference in my journey.
This forum was my go-to resource throughout.
