Congrats NurseLeah_Nash!! You should be so proud of yourself. 🎉
adam_van's experience with DEXA scan facilities resonates deeply with mine. I went through almost the identical process — starting dose, titration timeline, side effects, everything.
The main difference: I am on a different medication. But the overall trajectory has been remarkably similar. Down 67 lbs in 12 months.
One thing I would add that adam_van did not mention: my sleep quality improved dramatically.
Bookmarked 📌 The DEXA scan facilities info in this thread is essential. Coming back to this for sure.
Clinical perspective on DEXA scan facilities looking for input:
I have managed over 200 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.
