In Hershey park last year I didn't even bother with some of the thrill rides because there were signs that said. People of extreme hight or weight may not fit in the seats, they suggested I try the seat. I was to embarassed to even try the seat. I didn't want the walk of shame.

Going to Dorney parkin June and Disney in July - I may even look at the pictures that they take on the rides!!

I RODE ROLLER COASTERS AT SIX FLAGS IN AUGUST AND SINCE THEN I'VE LOST RESTRICTION. I DID HAVE OVER 2.5 CC'C AND NOW MY DR. CAN'T DRAW OUT ANY OF IT. WHAT HE'S ADDED SINCE SEPTEMBER IS STILL THERE , BUT NOT THE ORIGINAL 2.5 CC'S. I GO BACK FOR ANOTHER FILL TUESDAY AND WE'RE CHECKING TO SEE IF I HAVE A LEAK , A KINK , OR IT'S JUST A FLUKE. DON'T KNOW IF IT WAS THE ROLLER COASTERS OR WHAT. ON THE POSITIVE SIDE ALTHOUGH I'VE ONLY LOST 1-2 LBS IN 3 MONTHS , I'VE NOT GAINED EITHER , SOOOO WHEN I FINALLY LOSE THE REST, IT SHOWS ME THAT I SHOULD BE ABLE TO MAINTAIN !;) WOOHOO !!!

BOOBOOKITTY , YOU LOOK AWESOME !! WHAT AND INSPIRATION ! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK !:clap2:

Well I went to my Dr. yesterday and I asked about it and they said that you can get on one at any time just take it slow since you might be tender at your port sight but they said that it wouldnt hurt you in anyway! WHOOHOO rollercoasters here I come!

How long should you usually wait till you get on one?

Since I had a Disney trip planned at the time of my surgery, I asked this question.

My doctor recommended 6-8 weeks to let the port site fully heal. If your port is still tender, I would avoid any ride that the bar is going to be in that area.

Hey y'all! I know this is quite a bump, but has anyone been to Busch Gardens since being banded?

I'll be heading to B.G. Europe in Williamsburg, VA soon & have not ridden a roller coaster in 7 years! My last ride was on Apollo’s Chariot...the part of the seat the buckles you in was quite a struggle to secure, but finally clicked -- once. (in contrast, it clicked several times in securing my husband.) I spent the ride in a panic that I wasn’t truly buckled in! And that was the end of my coaster enthusiast days... But (113 # lighter) it is time to venture back to the "BIG KID" rides again! Griffin & Apollo’s Chariot await & yet I can’t shake the notion that I’m not gonna fit!!!! :smile::redface:

      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.
