Francisco I have one to add I don't get my boobs full of food. When I was heavy and I would lean to get the salt or my drink I was for ever putting my boob in my plate, or if I dipped food it would land on one of them. Don't have that problem anymore. Won't mind having a little more boobs left than I do, but plastic will take care of this. I will do a nice size not one that gets in the way. Things really do change and what a different world it makes for us. There is so much to look forward too. Take care.
