So awesome to hear. I've avoided water parks the last few years for many of the same reason you listed. I'm so happy for you and can't wait til I can do the same in the future.

Good luck to you! Prayers for a speedy recovery for you.

Your results are beyond awesome and your story is amazing and so inspirational, thanks for sharing!

Im not going to let this original post change my mind about my decision! I'm barely starting out on my WLS journey. Right now I'm in the process of insurance verification before they set up my 1st consultation. Like many others I've lost weight by exercise and diet change but have had difficulty keeping the weight off. I was doing so well with my trainer but things happened that was out of our control and he was no longer able to train me. Then slowly I started gaining everything back plus more. I'm tired of my weight yoyoing back and forth so I've made the decision to have wls. I'm at my highest weight right now. The last time I was close to this weight, I was at full term pregnancy suffering thru gestational diabetes and pre-eclampsia, which sucked!! I'm attaching a before and after pic I took last year when I was training but I've since gained it all back.

I really liked Syntha 6 and musclepharm combat powder, very good taste!

Hello everyone! I've been surfing the forums for the past week and just felt it was time to make my introduction. I'm Raven, 34 years old, married with a beautiful 3 year old daugther. I've been overweight for the majority of my life. I've made several attempts to lose weight over the last 10 years. I've tried the Atkins diet, visiting 2 weight loss clinics, joined a gym, and even hired a personal trainer. I've had no problem losing the weight but maintaining has proved very difficult. I've never really considered WLS until recently. A co-worker was sleeved this past April and after speaking with him several times and seeing his results (60lbs to date), I feel this is what i truly want. I saw my PCP 2 days ago and they have sent my referral to the surgeons office. I've called to set up my first consultation, just waiting for a call back. I can't wait to hear back from them and get this process started.
