Yeah, it's so much better for us to understand early what's going on. We have to be detectives, and we can very often pinpoint what it is.

Yeah. And it's my job to figure out why is this happening? What's not working? I think we adjusted the timing of one of your medications to cover nighttime better. When you reached your health goals, we decided to transition from the phase of weight loss to the phase of weight maintenance. We recognized at that point that your prediabetes was gone.

Your blood pressure was in the normal range and all of the health complications disappeared. that were associated with your higher weight were improved or gone.

It's really important for people to understand that what they are struggling with is not their fault and there are effective treatment plans. Hearing stories like Barbara can change so many lives.

We talk a lot about how it's so important in this field of medicine to have a good partnership between the patient and the care team against the disease. Especially in the field of obesity medicine, it's so critical that we as healthcare providers listen to our patients. They've heard from so many other healthcare providers, oh, just eat less and exercise more, just go off and lose weight.

It's a long-term relationship where there has to be trust.

Ja, und es ist mein Job, herauszufinden, warum das passiert, was nicht funktioniert. Ich denke, wir haben die Zeitung der Medikamente, um die Nachtzeit besser zu betrachten, verbessert. Als du deine Gesundheitsziele erreicht hast, haben wir uns entschieden, von der Phase des Gewichtsausgleichs nach der Phase des Gewichtsausgleichs zu transitionieren.

Wir haben an diesem Punkt erkannt, dass deine Prädiabetes weg war. Dein Blutdruck war in der normalen Range. Und alle Krankheiten, die mit deinem höheren Gewicht verbunden waren, wurden verbessert oder weg.
