330 to 248 with no exercise capacity due to knee and shoulder issues is a strong result that challenges the idea that the medication only works alongside movement. The joint load reduction as weight comes off often opens up activity that wasn't possible at start weight - many people find they...

Thigh injection reducing heartburn is consistent - the stomach absorption rate differs from thigh, and a slower uptake can reduce peak GI side effects. The Zepbound switch for better loss is a separate signal worth tracking independently.
