Bookmarked 📌 The TB-500 for the info in this thread is essential. Coming back to this for sure.

Slightly tangential to TB-500 for the shoulder but dan_philly reminded me — has the insurance landscape changed recently?
I know it is not exactly on-topic but it seems related enough to ask here rather than starting a new thread. Apologies if this has been covered — I did search first.

Reading this thread on TB-500 for the shoulder hits close to home. Dad of 2 checking in — I started at 265 lbs and felt like I would tried everything.
11 months on tirz and I am a different person. Not just the 40 lbs lost — my energy, my mood, my relationship with food. All transformed.
If you are on the fence about TB-500 for the — take the leap. It was the best health decision I have ever made. ❤️

MeganSA_TX — that is really helpful context on TB-500 for the shoulder. Follow-up question: how long did you wait before increasing your dose?
I am in a similar situation (week 4) and trying to set realistic expectations.
