I'm in the same boat with a bunch of stuff. Been diagnosed with hEDS, pots, and I'm HLA B27 positive which comes with a ton of pain. My rheumatologist wouldn't look into testing so I'm doing my own digging. Not all the answers yet but things are improving.
 
Had bad gag reflex issues after starting—way more sensitive now. It's never been enough to quit but def had to be careful at work. 13 months in and finally weaning off after hitting my goal.
 
That kind of accumulated suffering - chronic condition after chronic condition compounding over a year - and then turning a corner this noticeably is not nothing. When people say these medications 'changed their life' this is exactly what they mean. The systemic inflammation reduction that often comes with significant weight loss also helps conditions that most people don't think to connect. So glad you're on the other side of that stretch.
 
The kid-weight comparison is one of the best ways to make a number real. 95 lbs is abstract until you lift something that heavy and realize you were carrying it through every day. That physical reference sticks.
 
The visible age shift after significant health improvement is real. Looking years younger is not an exaggeration.
 
Celiac and hemochromatosis alongside everything else - that progress is genuinely hard-won. Getting multiple conditions moving at once is a big deal.
 
Celiac plus hemochromatosis plus PCOS is a heavy load, and GLP-1 support changes the equation. High fiber with the GLP-1 suppression is the right combination for that baseline.
 
Having a hydration goal with something that makes the water taste better is the practical solution for people who struggle to drink enough - the flavor difference matters more than it sounds for consistently hitting the target.
 
Managing celiac, PCOS, and post-surgical hormones at once is the hardest version of this. The improvements tend to layer in over months.
 
The osteoarthritis-weight connection is one of the strongest in the data - every pound of body weight puts roughly 4 pounds of force on the knee joint, so significant loss measurably changes the joint load daily. Good long life odds is the right way to frame what's actually happening with that kind of weight reduction.
 
120 lbs in 18 months without surgery is exactly the outcome people are now calling impossible through non-surgical means. The result speaks for itself.
 
Think about lugging around a stack of heavy grocery bags all day, no wonder exhaustion and fatigue made walking feel impossible. Menopause plus caretaking stress hit me hard on top of everything! So thankful for this medication. Feels like whoever invented it deserves some kind of monument.
 
Went through something similar years back with a semaglutide product. But it hit only after I paused it. Used to have very regular cycles too. Then started the tablet version a while later. A few months in, cycles stopped completely and I panicked and told my doctor I was quitting. Within about a week, everything started up again. Ended up with seven straight weeks of periods. Genuinely miserable stretch. No pain or anything else though, just constant bleeding.

So once I restarted the tablets, I saw a gynecologist and got put on a hormone medication, worked out the dosing and timing with them. It was specifically meant to induce regular cycles. Stayed on it for a good long stretch, mostly out of anxiety even though things had stabilized, and some months later after switching medications, my endocrinologist convinced me to try going without it and see how things went, with the option to restart anytime. Cycles have stayed on track ever since without needing it.

So maybe look into something similar, or another birth control option, whether pills, an implant, or an IUD. Personally get bad cystic acne from one type, so ended up switching over to a different hormone-based treatment instead.
