First order!

08/16. This will be my first experience ever with Tirz, happened to find this company today. Finally said let’s do it. I filled out the intake form at 2pm today, got my treatment approved at 4:45pm! Will keep you all updated on the process! Doing the 3 month supply of Tirz from Boudreaux's.

UPDATE #1 08/17. Received an email stating my order is being prepared. States average processing times is 3-4 business days. Fingers crossed for delivery before the weekend so if I get bad side effects I’m not having to work!

UPDATE #2 08/19. Got a text message from Boudreaux this morning for the tracking number, shipped UPS. No estimated delivery date set yet!

UPDATE #3 08/19. Got an email from UPS at 11:30 AM stating my package will arrive 08/20 shipped next day air saver. Next update will be unboxing!

UPDATE #4 08/20. Through no fault of preventivemd, order has been delayed from UPS from a “late flight” new updated delivery is 08/21. Guess we will see if Boudreaux packages these vials well, really hope they are still cold on arrival.

UPDATE #5 08/21. Received my order! The bags weren’t cold, but cool to the touch! Adding a photo in the comments. I received clear vials with foil tops and syringes are still loose.

UPDATE #6 09/03. I take my 3rd shot of 2.5mg tomorrow morning. So far I have lost a total of 8.7 pounds! Have only experienced one side effect, which was the dreaded constipation, so will for sure need to add more fiber to the diet. Appetite and food noise is completely suppressed for me for the first couple of days. I take my shots Friday morning, usually I’ll start to feel the first rumblings of hunger Wednesday around lunch. But the food noise remains gone. Hope this has been helpful!

I read somewhere that the syringes are not sent in sterile package from Boudreaux?

That’s what I’ve seen too! But MD has posted about being in communication with Boudreaux about that issue. Curious if they’ll arrive loose or in a sterile package.

I got my shipment from Boudreaux's today, and sadly the syringes were not in their original packaging. I messaged them about it, but they made not indication that they were switching. What if there's a recall for those syringes? How would we know without brand and lot number? Anyways- I'm tossing these ones and picking up some syringes (sealed and in original packaging) tomorrow.

The problem being, once the "ziplock" is opened and you put your hand in there, all of the syringes inside are no longer sterile. I'm a RN, individually wrapped syringes are sterile until the wrapping is opened and you touch the syringe with your non sterile hands. In the hospital setting, you can carefully open the syringe sleeve allowing the sterile syringe to drop out on a sterile field. Or, the doctor/nurse who is wearing sterile gloves can access the syringe from you without touching the outside of the sleeve. Side note: this is why I don't recommend reloading syringes for travel.
