Thank You for sharing. I have avoided the amusement park the last 2 years for that exact reason. I had my surgery last month and look forward to taking my 9 yr old to the amusement park this fall.

I made up excuses for 14yrs! I know you will feel amazing when you're able to get in! Best of luck on your journey!!! :)

My kids said to me "I thought you didn't like the rides". I told them that for a very long time to avoid another embarrassing situation. Now I do everything with them and even took them to trampoline nation where they had a scale and nobody over 125 lbs could be in the little kid area. I proudly jumped on that scale with no shame and realized I was the only parent jumping with my kids. It was a good feeling to be right there with them. ALL THE BEST TO YOU!!

Crazy, huh? And just like everyone I struggled my whole life. Who would have known there was a sassy little size 2 under all of that. Certainly not me. My sleeve is more than I could have ever asked for.

That is WONDERFUL!!!! At almost 8 months out, I'm still dealing with one problem since surgery, but I don't regret it at all. Like you it's more than I could have ever ask for! I have a ways to go, but hearing from people like you and seeing your picture is truly inspirational!

I was too slow. I wanted to say the same thing as BabySheldon. The fact that you were restricted by your weight does not mean that you were not a great mother. Anyway, congratulations on your weight loss.

Thank you. I guess I should say I feel like a more involved mom.

we are always hard on ourselves as mothers..we just really love our babies, no matter how "grown" they get!

I think that is an awesome NSV!!

      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.
