I think I got the link so I hope it works... m.youtube.com/watc... Also here are the lyrics to the song!!! Silhouette Lyrics Nikki Flores I've always been the music in the background I've danced among the shadows on the wall Cause no one ever noticed my details In fact they never noticed me at all But now I'm breaking free I'm more than an outline of who I use to be I'm coming out of the backlight It's time to be seen, there's no more featureless portrait She's ancient history, but I'll never forget My silhouette, my silhouette I used to try to hide my imperfections I only saw the world in black and white But now I'm looking at the bigger picture And everything is clearer in my life But now I'm breaking free I'm more than an outline of who I use to be I'm coming out of the backlight It's time to be seen, there's no more featureless portrait She's ancient history, but I'll never forget My silhouette Now I've opened your eyes Cause I'm not letting me go stepping out of the dark I'm so in control Leave the old you behind Remember to hold on to your soul I'm more than an outline, yeah I'm coming out of the backlight But now I'm breaking free I'm more than an outline of who I use to be I'm coming out of the backlight It's time to be seen, there's no more featureless portrait She's ancient history, but I'll never forget My silhouette I'm more than an outline of who I use to be I'm coming out of the backlight It's time to be seen, there's no more featureless portrait She's ancient history, but I'll never forget My silhouette

Glad you had great success with the band as well for awhile & I am sorry you have to switch due to gaining some of the weight back but I also will pray for you to have the best success with your sleeve!!!

Thank you so much MaryE!!! I will be keeping a look out for your progress pics &/or videos!!! Documenting this whole journey is the second best thing I ever did for myself, the first being the sleeve!!! The documenting of it helps us remember just how far we have come & where we do not want to go back... it shows us shedding our second skin & coming out with smiles so wide & a much healthier us!!! I wish you the very best on your journey & like I said I will be waiting to see your journey!!!! When is your surgery set for???

Thank you very much!!! I am so much happier! It truly was a blessing to have this surgery! It saved my life & not just for me but for my daughter & my grandbabies as well bcuz I can do so much more woth the little ones & when my daughter was growing up I was so miserable by the time she hit her teens that I was just grumpy all the time & just tried to avoid most things & now when she comes home to visit from college we can enjoy more things together! & my step-grandbabies are happier to bcuz I can go to the park & actually play with them!!! It is an amazing feeling as the weight comes off bcuz I am no longer in a dark miserable place!!!

Thank you for sharing your flipagram here! Like I said on your thread you did an awesome job putting your flipagram together! You are a true inspiration to everyone on here! You have done a fantastic job working your sleeve on your journey & your video will continue to help others here for a very long time!!! Again congratulations & I wish you continued success along your life journey!!!

Yes that is very true also... that is something we should bring to Alex's attention to see if there is anyway to get that fixed so that it works on the mobile app!!! I have not figured out how to put pics up on my profile bcuz I only use the mobile app.

I love the way you did your flipagram!!! I have one up on here but never thought to add in inspirational phrases & things into mine. Great job & also fantastic work on your journey!!! Congratulations on your success!!!

I take 10, 000 mcg a day & my hair is still falling out like crazy. I have bald spots & have to be careful how I style my hair. It started falling out when I was 3 mths po & I am now just over 7 mths po & praying it stops or at least slows down some soon. I get huge handfuls in the shower & my brushes everyday. But I know it will grow back & it is a minor upset to deal with along my journey.

Congratulations! !! Keep up the great work!!!

That is very true however there is a way to ask the ones you wanted to all in one post or perhaps in a private message. The person nor myself are trying to be rude or complaining just simply trying to inform you so you do not have to keep asking multiple times is all. As we all scroll thru we have go several posts before seeing what the next person had to say & maybe something else that someone else asked might get missed by people trying to scroll past several posts that are repeats is all.

Anyone else have a flipagram to share??? I would love to see it!

Congratulations on hitting your goal! What an amazing feeling that must be. I can not wait until the day arrives that I can hopefully say I hit my goal weight! Wishing you continued success on your journey, you are doing a fantastic job!!!

That is an awesome nsv!!! Congratulations on your success!!!

When the right procedure for you comes along you will just know! Do as much research on all options & when the time is right again you will not have to second guess yourself one bit & will know in your heart which surgery is best for you! As far as not feeling as though your family ia supporting you through your process just keep reminding yourself that you are doing this for you, for a happier, healthier life not for them & you can pray that they come to their senses & support your choices but if they don't always know you have a great support system on here! I wish you the very best with whichever direction you choose to go in!
