Want to share my personal experience related to Blacklisted vendor compilation since I think it might help others in a similar situation.
I started my GLP-1 journey in March 2025 at 277 lbs with metabolic syndrome. My telehealth provider prescribed semaglutide 0.25mg to start.
Now, 6 months later: I am down 67 lbs, my labs have normalized, and my sleep apnea has improved dramatically. The Blacklisted vendor aspect specifically was something that made a big difference in my journey.
This forum was my go-to resource throughout.
