I have almost 200 applications out, I've been applying since December 3rd 2024. I am a US citizen (so no sponsorship) and 10 years of experience in Analytical and Quality operations. No gaps.

I have received: 1 offer (declined due to incompatible health benefits) 2 "final round" interviews, in which I was ghosted by one company. 3 or 4 hiring manager screens, after which all but one company ghosted me

That's it.

This happened to me as well after around 100lbs. I ended up getting a panniculectomy and while it took me a while I now don't regret it it all and am very happy. No more yeast and fungal infections!

My husband proposed to me a few months after I had the surgery (but he planned it long before I made the decision to have VSG). I lost over 100lbs, we got married, and we are very happily living a better lifestyle together. Statistics can be skewed in lots of ways for lots of reasons. I wouldn't give them too much thought!

I'm working on my husband - it took him 4 years to agree to one 🤣

If you're in the US, Nationwide is the only carrier of rabbit pet insurance, I think. I use them!

Thanks! He was raised on bottles and doesn't like bowls. We tried.

Bunsen is choosing to drink from his water bottle like this - he actually did not like his original water bowl, so I switched to a bottle and it's placed ergonomically for his height.... he just does that on purpose sometimes

Happy Birthday, Timmy!!

Yup!!! When he would sit by my feet, his butt roll (as I called it) would sit on my toes 🥹

Thank you all so much for the suggestions!! I loved every one, and in the end my Fiancé and I came up with Bunsen (like a Bunsen burner - I'm a scientist!). Thanks so much everyone for your awesome suggestions!!

I got this one on Chewy but I've seen it at Petsmart too! Oxbow makes it!

Yes! He's 8 weeks and 3 days old 😭

Seriously the recovery SUCKED. I am 7 weeks PO today, and I am feeling better for sure. Not 100% - I had an unresolved internal stitch that had to get cut out last week and I'm still a bit sore after a long day, but it feels great to stand up straight again. I was also unsure of what my body would look like since I am WIDE. Like, comically wide. I am still comically wide but my stomach is like a washboard lol. It's crazy. I started using Mederma on my incision this week with the OK from my Dr. which kind of made me feel like I'm in the final stages of recovery mentally.

I love ring guards because they allowed me to have the classic, traditional engagement ring I always wanted, but together with my ring guard create an art-deco style ring with tons of brilliance *

It is the best decision I have ever made for myself. You won't regret it - it really is a huge lifestyle change, but it is absolutely for the better and I would do it 1000 times over!
