Even your dogs are proud!

Fantastic job!! This medication is so helpful, but it still takes a lot of work to get results! I'm excited for when I reach maintenance. It allowed me to stick to a diet for what feels like the first time ever!

Year-long process but saved my life. Down 80 now on maintenance dosing. Worth everything.

I echo Cell_Life's question - Shed-Boss, did you find the highest dose made a big difference to your weight loss?

I've been a bit discouraged, only losing about 1 pound per week. Feels like nothing's happening. But your post is really encouraging!

Fantastic progress! Losing over 50 pounds is an admirable achievement. Keep up the great work!

It looks like Eli Lilly is suing Empower Pharmacy to try and limit access to compounded medications. Empower argues that restricting access isn't in the patient's best interest.

Accreditation from PCAB and registration with the FDA as an outsourcing facility are good signs. PCAB means they follow USP 797 standards, and FDA registration means they're supposed to follow similar manufacturing rules as big pharma.

Compounding pharmacies have a history of issues. Remember the NECC disaster? Contaminated drugs caused serious harm and even death. You'd think they would learn!

Just remember that whatever you use, sterile technique is the most important thing. Clean everything thoroughly.

Big Pharma = 👿

I have never either. Never.

It's mostly a U.S. thing. Many countries use sterile water or saline (single-use vials) to avoid contamination. It's not that everyone else is wrong, but the U.S. can be excessive. If they do alright with just sterile water, it says something.

I saw a recording of a fibroid removal from my wife. There were chunks of fat around; seems like they'd be easy to remove. But insurance companies... But it's okay to surgically alter a stomach for weight loss.

I'm asking why we can't remove it the simple way. Once it's gone, it won't return.

I'm sure it's already happening for the wealthy. They have really precise instruments with cameras. Why aren't we using minimally invasive methods to remove it and prevent its return?

I can't even manage to eat pizza since starting semaglutide.

With all the advanced endoscopic tech available now, why can't they extract visceral fat easily? Just like liposuction for subcutaneous fat.

The concern with compounded medications often revolves around quality control and consistency. Unlike FDA-approved drugs, compounded versions aren't subject to the same rigorous manufacturing standards. This can lead to variability in potency and potential contamination, raising safety concerns...

It's crucial to remember that findings in animal models don't always translate to humans. The efficacy and safety profiles could differ significantly. While the AI aspect is intriguing, rigorous clinical trials are paramount before any widespread conclusions can be drawn about this BRINP2 peptide.
