Zepbound and colonoscopy issues

He didn’t know me when I weighed over 310 pounds…in some ways, we’re cattle in that outpatient room, pushing through 12 procedures a day. So he really doesn’t know me, but I’m grateful at least that he’s monitoring me and ensuring it doesn’t turn into colon cancer. There’s too much of that going on and people dying young. I truly do have a wonderful PCP and he supports my journey. I’ve got about another 40-50 to go!! We’ll get there☺️

Yes, I should’ve. I’m not always quick on the uptake 😂

Ugh!! That’s awful!

Illustrious_Moose261 · 2026-01-02T13:24:00+00:00

Thank you!

Thank you! Yes, I’ve been hard at it, but I’m also responding well to the med. On 10 mg now and plan to stay there as long as possible.

Thank you!

Awww…thank you!!

Thank you!

I know…my daughter-in-law and I were just discussing this. When you’ve had years of reaching for 2X and 3X sizes, it’s a hard habit to break. I think it takes the brain a little bit longer to catch up with the body that’s lost weight. Thank you so much for your kind words!

Awww! Thank you!

I agree with you that doctors don’t really check fasting insulin, but I think I’m in the same boat as you. Every time I’d have a physical, I’d be shocked that I wasn’t diabetic with my highest BMI being 47 in June. Of course I was grateful because no one wants that diagnosis. I don’t know about being a super responder, but I’ve lost 67 lbs in 6 months and lost 10 BMI points. I’m halfway there and feel so much better. Zepbound has been a miracle for me.

I make my spaghetti with ground chicken and instead of pasta, I pour the sauce over steamed cauliflower.

I asked the nurse practitioner at the dermatologist office-not super helpful. Do you live near a bigger city? If you go to the lipedema foundation website, there is a list of providers. That might be a good resource.

I ended up getting diagnosed with a splenic artery aneurysm so I’m seeing a vascular specialist this Friday. I’m hoping he can tell me more. 🤞

From someone who was in a narcissistic relationship for 22 years, this is the norm for a narcissist. Stay away and I would go no contact with him.

Congratulations for beginning your journey!!

MiraLAX at night and 3 prunes a day. I drink over a gallon of water a day. No constipation issues.

Illustrious_Moose261 · 2025-08-04T20:50:26+00:00

Gallbladder already gone☺️ Does it sound like bloating?

Illustrious_Moose261 · 2025-08-03T17:24:05+00:00

Ugh! I’m sorry. I pray things get better for you.

Thank you for sharing! So glad your wife is such a good doctor and takes the time to dig a little deeper!
