Firstly, congrats!! That's exciting news! How are ya feeling about it coming up? I think I ended up waiting over a year from the time I first asked my pcp for a referral to the time I got my first shot, so I know the feelz.

I started out really underweight (16.5-17 bmi) and was put on a somewhat low dose for something like 5-6 months. I don't think I had much change in weight or eating habits. I started on some med (probably an SSRI or AP, I can't keep track anymore lol) that made me inhale food like I never had before. I gained just under 30 lbs in a few months. The weight stuck around for quite a while but eventually I regressed back into my old habits and worse (two hypoglycemic episodes... being delirious at Walmart isn't a fun time). I've lost a lot of weight since then. Not sure what it is right now, but in November I think I was down 17 lbs from my peak. I was also more lean than I had ever been, so the extra weight (and possibly more) would have been all muscle mass. I did do *some* working out here and there, which may have helped.

I'm not sure my experience would be terribly helpful for you ><

See what they say, though. Try to make sense of it, and if something doesn't seem to add up, don't be afraid to seek a second opinion.

Are you in touch with your nearest PFLAG community at all? They might be a resource or a link to resources. They can sometimes be very informed about these sorts of things or know someone LGBT-friendly who is.
