Mikey, you are a handsome man and have been such an inspiration to all of us.

I know what you mean about getting one's life back and being able to participate in new and old activities. I also agree that there is no going backwards. It is unacceptable.

The body dysmorphia can take some time to improve. The dietitian in the support group that I attend said that it can about 3 years for the head to catch up, but I can definitely see where it would take longer.

Congratulations on working your sleeve, getting your life back, and having a second chance at a healthier and active lifestyle.

Best of everything during year 3.

Gail
