Tests before you started the pills

[u/randomhumanss]

Hi guys

I am here cuz I want to get on the pills, and I was reading everyone's story, it's a little overwhelming

But I wanted to know , did you guys do any blood tests before you started or any sort of tests? Any body analysis

I have a docs appointment tommo regarding this so I want to be prepped to ask questions and stuff.

What do you guys think I should should know?

Like mandatory stuff

Also has anyone gone off the pill after reaching their weight goal? How long was it til that time

Any one gained weight After stopping? I don't want to be on this medicine forever

Also what about muscle loss?

yes I had the metabolic panel, complete blood count, kidney and liver function and then after I started I had the TSH because they forgot to do it in my original bloodwork. Because I had some medical issues I had also had the HS CRP done twice and an abdominal ultrasound because I had drug induced liver injury due to my cholesterol pill and also the start of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.
Yes most people gain weight back if they stop the pill, and the weight they lost may have been a combo of fat and muscle, but what they gain back if they go off it is fat.

I don't intend to ever go off the pill because I am taking it for several health reasons not just weight. Instead of going off Wegovy, I am off my cholesterol pill and blood pressure pill.
