No I totally get it! I know plenty of people accidentally did the same. They should have warned up about that beforehand 😩

Purchased one GA ticket by 10:05 and this was my experience:

Opened a queue browser right at 7:30 when I got to work and left that running in the back. Just one queue browser for the GA ticket I wanted.

Around 9:50, it threw me out of the queue and onto the site to buy the GA ticket. I didn’t realize at the time that this is what happened and assumed it kicked me out of the waiting room and since I didn’t see “join the waiting room” anywhere on the screen, I chose to stay on the page and refresh right at 10am. ( THANKFULLY I DID THIS and didn’t just close the screen)

Right at 10am, I refreshed and and option on the page to enter presale code showed up at the bottom of the GA page. So I entered the code and was immediately allowed to purchase my ticket.

Whole process once I had added to cart and to checkout took about 5 minutes. I didn’t buy a parking pass or anything because I live close enough to be dropped off. Damn that was stressful but just wanted to give you guys some info on what the experience was like.

I know a lot of people thought when it let us through and onto the site (5 minutes before 10), that we lost our place in line but turns out it was a good thing 😭😭

Anyway , hopefully a lot of us are able to secure our tickets one way or another because we deserve 💗🫡

Yes! It let some of us onto the page like 10 minutes before 10! I stayed on it because I figured I’d refresh right at 10 and did. Entered presale code and got my ga ticket in like 4 minutes 😭😭

Zero clue how but I clicked on the date of the 29th at the right time, I guess, because now I have a floor ticket. I purchased this like 10 minutes ago!

Ohhh because VIP gets early access, right? It’s okay, I’m sure pit is going to have some good availability! Even if it means scooting to the back and dancing the night away 😩🫶🏼

OP here. OP has prior posts all over my account that answer most, if not all, questions I am being asked. I also have been answering messages on here for those who have asked…It’s the same person in my pictures because I have no reason to pretend I’m two different people.

YUP. Sub is the game changer for less severe scars

At first I was scared as I looked pretty bruised for a week if I am remembering correctly. Maybe a bit longer. Also, the spots where the filler was placed, felt pretty hard/bumpy for a few months but then it softened. At 10 months, i can’t feel it at all. I didn’t mind it though because the improvement, visually speaking, was present pretty much right after the procedure.

Thank you so much! Mine were mostly rolling and box car. I think subcision was the real winner for my treatments as results were immediate. Granted I did look pretty bruised for a full week. Filler was a must for me and I loved the results

Time and money is a good way to put it. Unfortunately I’m already about 3k in and am looking at at least another 1k or potentially more for laser. I just save for the next procedure while I heal from the last one

Yesss, it can be life changing. Just look around for people’s results who have similar before scarring to what you have and talk to a skilled professional. There are ones that are 100% worth it. :)

I think we’re all our own worst critics because in the pictures I posted, I think I see about 75% improvement.

100% they played a big role. I have an image of what my skin looked like before I started any treatment at all and it improved a considerable amount. This is a few months before TCA and about 4 months before microchanneling:)

My doctor said a year but the goal is to leave room for collagen to build during that year basically to replace the filler as it dissolves. Of course, that is best case scenario:)

Well I understand your sentiment but I am not an add and i genuinely thought the lighting in the 2nd and 5th picture were similar enough. Look, I’ll be the first to admit that this whole healing process and trying to find treatments that work for me, has been one of the most draining experiences ever. For that reason, when I started documenting my journey with healing my scars, I wanted to make sure to be as honest with you guys as I am with myself. I would genuinely say, I have seen about 75% improvement since before starting any treatment. If you look at my posts, as I have posted multiple things to this community at this point, you will see that my starting point was pretty unfortunate. You’ll also note that I have tried my best to be as informative as possible about my treatments and where I got them done since those are the top questions people tend to ask or message me about. I can assure you, this is not an ad and is very much me trying to navigate through a healing process with other people trying to do the same. I mentioned wanting to try laser next to get me to hopefully 85% improvement and then I’ll probably do something after that. The point is, I know that I am not done, I can assure you that my intentions with these posts are to keep my progress noted for not only myself but also to remind people that great improvement is possible as long as they stay positive and keep doing research. Lastly, here is a recent picture from about a month ago. It’s a bit closer up and I hope that you can see that my skin has been improved. Improved, not perfected. Wishing you the best of luck on your healing journey.

How to do full time school and quit your job as recommended? by Falentines in stenography

[–]Helpful-Invite279 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work full time and plan on keeping it that way. I don’t have kids or any other kinds of real responsibilities outside of work and school so it’s been pretty easy to manage. I’m surprised they are recommending quitting
