Wow FiberLean, you are such an inspiration! I'm just starting out, and I've been overweight my whole life. Seeing your progress gives me hope that I can do this too!
That's a good question! My surgeon thinks it was just bad luck. No specific cause, but he did say some medications CAN increase the risk of abdominal issues in general, so it's something to be aware of for sure.
Long time no post, team! Hope everyone is doing well. :)

Almost at my 2-year mark on this med. Was hoping to hit that huge 100-pound-down mark. Buuuut...had an unexpected appendectomy and it messed things up. Doc says no meds...

I got skin sensitivity when I was upping my tirzepatide dose pretty quick, but it went away. Now I'm taking 5mg of Reta and 15mg of tirz, and I get a mild version of it sometimes, but I definitely can't increase the Reta dose anymore 'cause it gets worse. (Trying to maintain 54% weight loss.)...
Yesss! I feel you! I was 222 pounds back in January '24, also in Central Park, and now I'm hovering around 145. This medication has improved my life tremendously! You're rocking that swimsuit!
