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.

      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.
