Oh, Yenta...I'm really happy for you. I know you've gone through a lot to get to this point. And just think, next year at this time, you'll be writing as a svelte and healthier Yenta!

And Roxy, good luck with your procedure, too.

I am so happy for you. A dear friend of mine had it done earlier this year and she couldn't be happier or healthier.
But a word of advice, ENJOY THAT THANKSGIVING DINNER!! It will never be the same.
Make sure you keep us posted.

Good luck to you, too, Roxy.

PEACE.

I have a friend going through this process, as well, and it is not to be taken lightly, for those that know nothing about it. It's a life-altering moment, that seriously impacts every facet of your existence.

I applaud your courage, Yenta, and your determination to have the life you know you are entitled to.

Sending you all my best wishes, and this cuddly guy for you to hug when you need one!


Roxy, my best wishes to you, also.

Wishing you all good health!
