Hi everyone!

I have waited almost a year for this to come full circle. Just one more day and I will start a new chapter of my life : ) I am lucky to have a loving and supportive husband thru all of this. He's always told me I am beautiful no matter what. He's a keeper. I am tired of being tired. I am tired of missing out on all the rides at Busch Gardens for the last four years because I don't fit and don't want to be embarrassed by trying to fit.

My goal is to be healthy and happy and ride that dang new roller coaster by the end of the year : )

I am scared I will fail. There is no room to fail yet the thought is there.

One day at a time. Right : )

I know how you feel. I decided to do it when I took my son to Great Adventure's and was asked to get off the ride because the bar couldn't lock :-( it was the most embarrassing and lifechanging moment. That's when I knew I had to take my life back and start living and have FUN!!

Hi there.

I also go tommorow and can not wait! I agree completely with everything you said. I have 4 children and want to start participating more in their and my own life.

I am a bit nervous today, just can't wait to get on the other side of this.

Wishing you luck and much happiness. :)

Oh my gosh I have seen them do that to people. That is why I just stopped standing in the lines even. It broke my heart when my daughter told my husband "Mama doesn't like roller coasters". Ugh yes I do. I made her a promise last Christmas I would ride a roller coaster with her. It was so sad having a lady larger than me stuff me it the ride just so I didn't have to break my promise to my daughter : (

The ride attendant wasn't really rude...just said that the bar couldnt lock nd I had to get off. At that point I hadn't been to an amusement park in about 11 years so I didn't know I couldn't fit, was a bit skeptical but decided to chance it :-( it wasn't really the fact that I couldn't fit...it was the laughter from every1 on the ride and it was so hard not to cry.

      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. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
