I know how you feel. I used to have to get into the seat for "oversized people" at King's Dominion. Some rides I couldn't fit in. Some rides I was so uncomfortable that I couldn't breath and wait to get off. I had my surgery in May 2011 at 267 lbs. Today, Sept. 27th 2011 I weigh 210 +/-. I can ride anything I want. On the other hand, I can't seem to eat hardly at all. Nowhere the 1cup of food we are supposed to be allowed. I think I lost a lot of weight too fast it feels like my body is in shock. I went to the Dr. yesterday and because I have been having this choking feeling everytime I eat, she had to draw Fluid out of my band. Now I'm scared I'll be able to eat too much. We'll see what happens. Nicole, I hope you have fun at the amusement park. I'm 46 going on 18. And my daughter (9) and I get season passes every year.
