thanks Pantera and yes, thats me

Wow Pawillie. Never knew you were like that. I thought you were as young and able as your Icon. But I guess you can't judge by an icon because then I would be a "Poot Bunny".

Hope you get better, I want to see some more art from you.

thanks Wraith

Good for you! very nice pic!

thanks Suntan, I have had 5 surgeries since 2009 but the gastric bypass has been very helpful. I hope your friend does well, one thing I was warned about was the change in temprament that can occur afterwards because we can no longer rely on food to handle stress. That has been the most difficult thing to deal with but I hope it will pass. It is important for your friend to talk with the bariatric team if something like that becomes a problem

oh boy..thanks for telling me that. He's a very volatile guy and for all the months (year) of getting ready for this I've never heard him mention that..and he's talked about this a lot with his friends. Good to know. Thank you. Hope you have continued success. :)

another thing to add Suntan, is a person can easily become addicted to drugs and alcohol afterwards as well, he may know this stuff but is not talking about it, luckily I don't like either one

Wonderful draw! Love all the details! Best wishes 4 a speedy recovery!
