I have a DisneyWorld trip planned Dec 10. I don't have a sleeve date yet but we're thinking end of August. I hope to be down quite a bit before the trip but I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with the Magic Bands not fitting. Or have you had any issues with not fitting on the rides?

I haven't been to Disney as "Pooh-Sized"- I'm currently 5'3", 270#.

You will be fine with your magic band. Rides, I would just google pooh sized rides. I know there are groups on Facebook that could answer that about the rides. I never had any problems with rides but I didn't go on any roller coasters.

I looked years ago because I was worried about rides too and I found a lot of info on being overweight. Disney is very fat friendly so don't worry!

Last time I went to Disney World I was more like pooh sized riding on top of Eeyore!!! 348 pounds!! And I did fine!!! The magic kingdom in particular is very fat friendly with their rides. You'll be fine!! Disney is my favorite place on earth. Enjoy!!!

We were at Disney World last year. Your stats fit more in line with my wife at 5'4 and 325lbs. She was able to fit on every ride we tried. You may have some issues with the roller coaster type rides, like space mountain or the Snow White mine ride. We didn't try those because of size issues we read about online. Other than those you'll be fine. Enjoy yourself!

If you're making a trip over to Universal, that's a whole other story.

My husband and I went to Disney World a few months before my surgery.

He is 6'5 and at that time was over 400 lbs. He is also very big boned (football player build and wears a size 15 men's shoes!) We were worried the bands wouldn't fit him but they did!!! He wore it on the last notch but it fit fine.

So, if it fit him...it should fit most anyone! lol

We also both fit on all the ride. However, the runaway mine train was really uncomfortable at that time. Though now...I should be able to fit with no problem!

Hope that makes you feel better. :)

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
