You look amazing, and I hope you feel just as great! You're a true inspiration to us all. E_Grace_H, would you mind sharing a rough estimate of the cost for skin removal surgery in the UK?

Unless it's medically necessary, I'd suggest holding off on skin removal. They say it can take up to 18 months for your skin to adapt after you've stopped losing weight. You might find it shrinks back more than you think.

I wish the apps from Abbott were better, but being able to download the data as a CSV is nice. So many graphs!

One morning I felt like absolute garbage and checked my blood sugar just out of curiosity (I keep a cheap monitor at home). It was super low, like under 30 low 🥴, and I don't have diabetes. Immediately got a prescription for a CGM, now using a Libre 3 and it's been great, though the app could be...

With these GLP-1 meds potentially causing low blood sugar, I'm curious who's monitoring with a CGM and what brand are you using?
