Small fix — shipped from the regional warehouse, not from origin, which is why the number looks unusual.

What is the actual question underneath the question? Happy to answer both.

Agreed, and the bit people skip is that the ladder is a tolerance ladder.

Disagree with this specific line. A pause at 1.0mg is not evidence that 1.0mg has stopped working.

Hydration status and fasting state affect the lean mass estimate. Standardising both is the difference between a comparison and a coin toss.

the memo field matters on the chains that use one

Not quite. Bacteriostatic and sterile water are different products and only one is intended for repeated entry.

Correcting myself from earlier in the thread: I said week 12 and it was week 18.

Right, and the timescale is the bit that keeps getting lost. Judge a step at a month, not at a weekend.

Pasted rather than typed the address, then checked the first and last six characters. Habit now.

I would not panic about that. It is on the list of ordinary first-month experiences.

Nothing on this board is medical advice, and rate, target and method are questions for somebody who knows your history.

lean mass loss during weight loss is expected, the question is how much

Was it shipped from a regional warehouse or from origin?

Cosigning on timeframe. "18kg" means something completely different over 12 months than over one.

confirmations are the only status that means anything

zeynep_villalobos is right about confirmations. "Sent" is not a status.

Kept every form and reference number. When they had no record of a submission, I did.

Did you write the concentration on the vial?

no question is too basic here, that is the entire point of the board

A certificate of analysis is a document describing one batch: what was tested, by what method, and what the result was. Its value depends entirely on whether it names the batch and the method.

reship policy in writing before the order, not after

network and address, checked twice, before anything else

Push back: an unconfirmed transaction is not a missing payment. Wait for confirmations before escalating.

My goal weight at week one was a number I made up. I have revised it twice since and I am happier for it.

What lead time were you quoted at checkout?

13kg over 11 months and honestly the most useful marker was that stairs stopped being a decision.

A quoted lead time is a commitment you can evaluate. Measuring quoted against actual across several orders tells you more about an operation than the raw speed does.

Special authorization is a documented exception process with published criteria. Applications that answer those criteria explicitly, point by point, fare better than general clinical narratives.

Where a supplier holds regional stock, ask which lines are actually held there rather than drop-shipped. It changes the lead time and it changes the customs question.

a plateau is not a failure and it is not a personality

Not convinced. You changed the dose and the week at the same time, so you cannot attribute the change to either.

Correction: 15kg over 17 months is a different claim from 15kg in a month, and the post reads as the second.

How are you keeping track — spreadsheet, notebook, nothing?

Small correction, kindly meant: that is a range rather than a regain. Weight moves day to day in everybody.

Careful, that address format belongs to a different chain and sending to it would not end well.

The transaction hash is the canonical receipt: it is public, verifiable by either party, and it is what a support query should quote.

That is a report count, not a test count. The table lists both and they are very different numbers.

sulphur burps made the first fortnight rough at each step up, then flattened out.

This is the part I would underline for anyone skimming. Everything else in the thread is downstream of it.

Not convinced. You changed the dose and the week at the same time, so you cannot attribute the change to either.

Have you seen the special authorization criteria for your province?
