Doctor, I am 38 years old (born on 08 October 1987). My weight is around 110 kg, and my height is 5 feet 8 inches, giving me a BMI of about 36–37. I have been struggling with obesity for several years despite diet efforts. I would like a medical evaluation for GLP-1-based weight-loss therapy, such as tirzepatide (Mounjaro) or semaglutide, if appropriate.
Based on the information provided, your BMI falls in the obesity range. In adults with obesity, prescription weight-loss therapies may be considered when lifestyle measures alone have not been effective. However, starting such treatment requires a thorough medical evaluation, including assessment of your overall health, medical history, and potential risks. A consultation with a qualified physician or endocrinologist is essential to determine whether this type of therapy is appropriate and safe for you, and to ensure it is used under proper medical supervision.
