I'm back from reading your profile. You sure have had a long journey. I love your positive attitude. The plastics pictures were very cool to see. We have a lady in the maint. forum (LauraK712) who has had plastics and looks fantastic as well.

I have a few questions if you don't mind. My doc keeps telling how how much food I am going to be able to eat a few years down the line and was wondering what your restriction is like 6 years out. How much can you eat of say dense protein? And how much softer foods like yogart can you now consume? What bougie size did they use on you? I heard the bougies were bigger then. Thank you.

Are you still needing a PPI?

How are your labs?

Off to read your profile some more.

Wow, you have really been through a lot. I think about plastic surgery quite a bit and after seeing your pictures, I'm not so sure. It looks extremely painful. What was the recovery process like for plastics?
