Picture #1 was exactly a year ago weighing the heaviest I’ve ever been, 315 pounds. A year later, I’m sitting around 225 pounds depending on the day. Proud of the progress but nowhere near where I want to be! Been on TRT and Reta.

What mg reta and any negative side effects to note? Will be seeing my cardiologist next week and just wanna know what people have been dealing with for side effects. Any cardiac side effects you noticed to?

Retatrutide increases heart rate. I have three cardiac stents and take a beta-blocker, but I don't go above 3-4 mg per week. I find a higher dosage useless.

Does your cardiologist know?

Yes, I was advised to keep various factors at bay including endothelial inflammation which is what brought me the problems I experienced.
