The single most useful discipline is bringing the whole panel to a clinician rather than one flagged value.

Blood work came back perfect. baseline bloodwork + this community = winning. 🏆

Following on from Dr.ObesityLA — and this may be the naive question:

How often to repeat it, because quarterly seems to be the convention and I cannot find the reasoning?

Shot day Monday report relevant to baseline bloodwork:

Week 27. Currently on 10mg. Down 23 lbs from starting weight of 235 lbs.

This week's observations: Appetite very well controlled, no cravings.

Labs due next week — looking forward to seeing the metabolic panel. I'll post results in the Lab Results section when they come in.

Closing the loop on my own question.

Took the whole panel in rather than the one flagged line, and the conversation lasted two minutes instead of generating three more tests.

No disagreement with paige_pharma. One condition attached. One addition: if the lab changes analytical platform between your draws, the comparison breaks and nobody tells you. It is worth asking when a value moves inexplicably.
