SCS removal 8/13/26

I'm having my scs removed this Thursday. I've had it for 2 or 3 years now and it has not helped me one bit. I've also become really frustrated with all the MRI's I have to have (I've had a knee replacement and hip replacement since getting it and will have another knee and hip replacement and possible shoulder surgery) and having to do the impedance tests, fully charge it, basically a hassle in my opinion. Has anyone else here had theirs removed or will be having it removed? What's been your experiences?

*Edit - Update, surgery went well yesterday. I think I was in surgery for a whole 30 minutes. I'm in a little pain today. It varys between a 3 and a 5. Mostly 3. I feel like my back is swollen around the incisions, so I've been icing and took some Tylenol. I'm on a 6 week restriction of no bending/twisting/lifting/stretching and no carrying anything over 5 pounds.

Just started

Just started zepbound Friday. So far, I think it's working. I've stayed pretty full so far without really eating and I've definitely eaten a lot less. I'm including my starting picture so I don't lose it. I'm hoping to lose 190lbs.
