Dr.GastroMayo said:Vendor customer service ratings is not that straightforward in my experience

Reading this thread on Vendor customer service hits close to home. Night shift nurse — I started at 263 lbs and felt like I would tried everything.
9 months on tirz and I am a different person. Not just the 38 lbs lost — my energy, my mood, my relationship with food. All transformed.
If you are on the fence about Vendor customer — take the leap. It was the best health decision I have ever made. ❤️
