Recommended Posts

I just got back from Orlando, Fl on vacation with my family, and I hadn't been there since I was a teenager (and much smaller), I was so nervous about not being able to fit on the rides. But I'm more than happy to inform that, not only did I fit, but comfortably, and with plenty of room leftover in all rides. I was able to enjoy every single ride with my family in 5 different parks. I LOVE MY BAND!!!!!:thumbup:

Isn't it amazing!! I had the same experience this past Spring Break. I was so happy to be so much smaller than I was a year ago at that time. Congratulations on your wonderful success!!

That is wonderful!!!! My husband and I are taking our children in Aug and I am hoping that by then I will be down a few sizes too and able to fit into all of the rides with out worry. We went to kings island this past summer and I fit on all the rides but some were a tight squeeze. There were a few I avoided at Cedar Point because they had the seat at the front of the line so that large people could make sure they fit before they waited in line. OMGoodness like there would be anything worse then trying to squeeze my big butt into a small seat infront of tons of people!!! no thanks :cool2: Anyway congrats on your success I am looking forward to my future loss :thumbup:

Thanks, Guys. I once had to leave the superman ride at six flags in front of everyone, I felt humiliated :thumbup:

But now, thanks to my band, those days are long gone.

It has been years since I have gone to Cedar point, but I actually would prefer to try the seat out front, than wait in line all the way up to getting in the car, and having the attendant ask me to leave. I had that happen, and I would much prefer the seat out front from now on.

The good news is I am down almost 80 lbs, and my kids are asking if we can go this summer. If the trend continues, I will schedule something in Aug I think. :thumbup:

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
