Skin Cancer Mole Check Screening Next Week - What Can I Expect?

Hi all! I'm 23F, and noticed a mole on my side that's gone a bit scabby/raised/broken down? So sent a photo to my GP via Accrux and they've immediately referred me on the 2ww pathway to a hospital in London for a mole check. What can I expect? Is it reasonable to think that they might want to whip out the mole (if suspicious) on the same day? Would it be a matter of them checking one mole or would they want to look at all my moles? Never experienced this before and a bit nervous as this has all happened quite quickly, so would appreciate some pointers on what to expect to happen at this appointment, as MyChart hasn't been super informative on what will exactly be happening beyond "Dermatology Skin Cancer Screening" so would like to know what exactly this entails!

Fasting at Work Without Being Judged?

Hi guys, I'm 23F, 5'2, 58.5kg/128lbs, started at 70kg at the beginning of the year and have gotten into the habit of daily 18 hour intermittent fasts to great success. I want to start doing a 24 hour fast every 2 weeks to change things up a bit, but i'm a bit nervous about skipping lunch at work - my colleagues and I eat together every day and they'll definitely say something if I'm the only one not eating. . . how would you guys approach this? I want to keep socialising with my work friends but obvs don't want people to be weird about my lifestyle choices. Also I like going to brunch on the weekend so i don't want to sacrifice a weekend day for a work day where I'm doing less moving around and such.
