Getting hit with cancer on the heels of this surgery was a blow but I greatly admire your pragmatic, can-do attitude. Hope the dilation helps with food volume and diversity!! I didnt realize that this was so commonly needed.
ETA: Nice new boobs, btw! I remember reading (and laughing) when someone described hers after weight loss as tennis balls hanging from tube socks, and now this is becoming me!!

Ha! Yes, I “raised the rack” back where they belong. I had the dilation today and the doc said he couldn’t even get his endoscope down and had to use a small one to start. I was dilated to 15mm and ho back in a month to have it done again so it will “stick” for a few years at least. Already eating more volume.

I always had straight as a board hair and tried to perm it for fun in my 20s. I was always envious of you curly headed chix! It went awry and didn't end well. Then fast forward to 50. And after chemo mine grew back curly! It's now straight again, but it has more wave and body than it used to.

So can't wait to see yours and hear if it changed any! Maybe your's will come back in straight?
