First Doctor Visit in Years After 100 lbs Lost: Be Honest About Grey Market Tirz and Reta?

[cloratheshadow]

Insurance problems after my move to another state kept me from booking anything, and then life got in the way — I was swamped by everything going on and focused more on my daughters' appointments than my own.

Now I'm down 100 lbs, and my last doctor visit was back when I weighed 325. Should I tell the whole truth about using grey market Tirz and Reta? Are there particular blood tests worth requesting? Any general advice for someone heading into a checkup after years away?

Congrats on booking that appointment — and 100 pounds is amazing! If it were me, when asked how the weight came off, I'd just say compounded Tirzepatide via telehealth. Why invite unnecessary hassle?

On the blood work side, I'd request a full metabolic panel, A1C and thyroid.
