I'm going to six flags over Georgia next weekend and I'm pretty nervous about it. Last time I went I was at least 320lb, but maybe a bit higher, and a size 24. I couldn't fit on a few if the rides, and some were uncomfortable, to say the least. I should be at 240 by next weekend and I'm a 16/18. My weight is fairly evenly distributed.

Even though I'll be down at least 80lbs from my first visit I'm still so nervous that I won't fit. I know they have the test seats I can try, but I'm still going to be so disappointed if I don't fit. I was mortified last time. I keep telling myself a 16 is just a tiny bit above an average size so I should fit. Anyone have any advice, words of wisdom or encouragement.

16-18 is a good size. You should fit fine. Try it! Have fun! :-)

Just think. By summer's end you could be maybe a Size 12? Imagine it... :-)

Did you go? How about a update.

We had so much fun! I had two nerve racking moments.

One was on a Water slide. A sign was posted that said there was a 250lb weight limit, I normally would have just tried to slide by and hope they didn't check but then I realized I didn't even have to worry about it anymore which was really nice.

I got on the batman ride and I was so nervous because that's the one that was a no go last time. Well it didn't "click" I was almost heart broken, and then I realized it's not suppose to click, you have to buckle yourself. I buckled the seat with no issue and had a couple of inches to spare. It was a great feeling.

So I had no issues what so ever and I didn't have to spend a dime on food.

It was so crowded we didn't get to ride very many rides and in dying to go back. Charlotte is a little closer so I think we're going to go get a season pass for Carowinds and spend our vacation there.

I am looking forward to the day that I can go to SixFlags. The last time I went, of course you have to wait an hour to ride a ride, when it was finally our turn, the seat belt didn't click either, my daughter and I had to get up and leave. I was humiliated. everyone staring and wondering what was going on. I went straight to the bathroom and cried. Next summer I should be able to go back.

I am so glad you had fun. Congrats on your weight loss.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
