Trip To Disney Question...



Recommended Posts

I am going to disney world soon, pre-op... I haven't been there for 20 years when I was younger and thinner. I'm now 285...so my question is have you gone when you were bigger? Were you able to ride any of the rides at magic kingdom or Epcot? Just trying to be prepared if I won't fit on any of the rides :(

I went to Disney two weeks prior to surgery and I weighed 345. In the Magic Kingdom I did not have any issues but for the rides that I thought I might have an issue I asked before I got on any ride if I would have any issues fitting. I would know before I got on the rides. I didn't go to Epcot this time, but I don't think you will have any issues. Have a great time.

Thanks so much for the feedback, I appreciate it!

We went to universal and there were several rides I could not do at 260#. I was embarrassed needless to say. Part of my decision to sleeve on Oct 30.

      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. 🤞
