MrsCaluza 14 Posted July 26, 2012 Sooo a few months ago I weighed my self and was 399lbs (I'm also 6'1). I thought I will be damned if I hit 400. I've been though the diets and stuff nothing ever worked very long. Both of my parents have had WLS as well so I kinda know what I'm in for. But my main reason for having the surgery is my son. He turns one in August and I want to be able to play with him, run around with him and be there for him as he grows up. That's what I've been concentrating on, but reading this forum I've started thinking about the Other fun stuff too. Like I. Will be able to ride roller coasters, fit in movie theater seats, that kind of stuff not to mention wearing seat belts and sitting in booths. I'm still jumping through the hoops but will be having the surgery about September. I'm sure I'm going to have lots of questions and I'm glad I found a place to ask them.

I know its going to be hard (i have just begun the process, have 2 more months of nutrition classes before i get a date) but i am excited for those moments when i can do something like cross my legs, fit in a booth, walk with out being in pain.This is such a great forum, so much information and support. good luck, looking forward to seeing you on the losers side Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
