I can relate to most of the weight stories and that is why i am scheduled for surgery jan 27/ 2013. I go to amusement parks alot use to love the rides until that one time on a roller coaster with my 24 year old daughter and friends i could not buckle the belt i walked away so mortifed but not enough to do anything yet that was 5 years ago. I now have an awesome grandson who is 3 1/2 he likes rides i squeezed into the train with him at dorney park. His smile he was so happy, but i could not enjoy i was in so much pain my knees i did not fit in the seat of course. I am looking foward to a healthier me
