Want to share my personal experience related to International vendor directory since I think it might help others in a similar situation.
I started my GLP-1 journey in October 2024 at 283 lbs with prediabetes and hypertension. My endocrinologist prescribed semaglutide 0.25mg to start.
Now, 10 months later: I am down 78 lbs, my labs have normalized, and I am off 2 of my 3 medications. The International vendor aspect specifically was something that made a big difference in my journey.
This community helped me every step of the way.

OP here — wow, did not expect this much response! Thank you all for the thoughtful replies on International vendor.
To answer jason_sac26: I started tracking everything in a spreadsheet from day 1.
Quick update: I will post a proper update thread soon. Thanks again for the evidence-based discussion — this is exactly why I posted in a science-based community. 🙏

Want to share my personal experience related to International vendor directory since I think it might help others in a similar situation.
I started my GLP-1 journey in March 2025 at 255 lbs with metabolic syndrome. My telehealth provider prescribed semaglutide 0.25mg to start.
Now, 16 months later: I am down 85 lbs, my labs have normalized, and my sleep apnea has improved dramatically. The International vendor aspect specifically was something that made a big difference in my journey.
This forum was my go-to resource throughout.

Just wanted to say — for anyone reading this International vendor thread who is feeling discouraged: it gets better. The first 6 weeks are the hardest. Hang in there. 💪
