This is my experience too, for whatever a second data point is worth. Nothing to add that would improve it.

Thank you — that is the clearest version of this I have read, and I have read a lot of them. Taking it to my next appointment.
From the other side of the consultation, briefly.

I understand the skepticism — we've all seen "miracle" weight loss solutions come and go. But consider what makes GLP-1 agonists different:
- Phase 3 RCTs with thousands of participants (not 20-person pilot studies)
- Published in NEJM, JAMA, Lancet (not press releases)
- Replicated across multiple independent research groups
- Proven cardiovascular and renal benefits beyond weight loss
- Biological mechanism fully characterized at the receptor level
This isn't a fad — it's a new drug class supported by the highest level of clinical evidence. The comparison to past fads is understandable but inappropriate.

Adding a me-too, because a thread of one person's experience is not much use. The detail I would add is minor and it is already implied above.
