I bought the charge 2 but I’m wishing I had bought the Versa so that way I wouldn’t have needed another device for music 🤦🏽♀️ Yeah, the music in the device is a nice feature. I can control my music with my Blaze, but still have to carry my phone with me.

In the challenges section you do small challenges with up to 10 friends, but the Adventure Race challenges allows up to 30 friends. I don't think there is a way to create an actual group as those are only created by FitBit (at least from what I've seen).

While we're on the topic - does anyone have the FitBit Versa yet? I'm considering getting it, but just wondering how it really compares to my Blaze.

Ylime replied to Sleeved36's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I've been on the opposite end of topic for many years now. Specifically for the past 15 years I have had my annual physical without fail. I have a primary care physician, an OB, and a neurologist, all of whom I see at least once a year. Obesity has been a hot medical topic for a long time now. But I'm always disappointed/frustrated that it never appears to be a concern of any of my doctors. In fact, the first time I ever brought my weight up to my primary her response was, "You're only 10lbs more than you were at this time last year." Well, yeah but that's on top of the extra 50lbs I'm carrying around! She didn't seem concerned at all. Most recently I told my new primary I was getting WLS and her response was positive and she stated she had a lot of patients doing that. So I thought, she's obviously aware of the benefits and the outcomes, so why hasn't this ever been brought up to me? She's been well aware of my high BMI for a long time. I had never even heard about options other than Bypass so I didn't know enough to even ask. I feel like if any of my physicians had broached the subject with me, I might be offended or embarrased at first, but they would have laid the groundwork for me to bring the subject back up when I felt comfortable. But the complete lack of any concern is not only frustrating but probably also led to my inability to lose weight because I so often felt like it was hopeless and if my doctors didn't care then why should I? -

Ok - I think I'm caught up! Since the member list is getting really long, I've updated it to put the completed surgeries in a separate column. We have so many completed surgeries - I can't wait to hear how it's going for everyone! -

Did your surgeon give you a schedule to follow? Mine did and it goes through the first 12 weeks of recovery. I think it will be helpful for me as it lays it out by hour (I'm OCD like that) and provides examples of foods that are acceptable. Happy to share if you think it would be helpful.

Glacier National Park, Montana It’s the place that makes my soul happy. I’m glad I was able to come again before my surgery, it provides me with some mindful peace before I start my new journey. Yesterday we traveled to British Columbia to view the Canadian side of Lake Koocanusa before heading to the US side of the lake: -

You're crazy. But seriously, this a common theme I read from people post-op. That they don't feel any different so it's hard to believe that anything was actually done. I bet it won't last long though. -

Dang - A month later? My pre-op is only 2 week prior to my surgery. Good to know this ahead of time.
