I'm leaving tomorrow to go to Disney and something just popped in my head. I'm sure it will be ok but just want comfirmation......is it ok to be riding rollercoasters and thrill rides with the band? I'm more concerned about hurting my port than my band since my port is so close to the surface and can get tender from anything physical.

Glad to hear you liked Hersheypark. I'm a local and my son works there. I love to get his employee passes and go for free! Rollercoasters are no problem for the band. In fact, they're a lot more fun because I get more airtime now that I'm so much lighter.

Enjoy your trip to Disney!

I am a Disney addict!! I just wanted to wish you a great trip!! You're going to love every second!!

I don't see issues with your band. Maybe if you're concerned about port irritation at the surface, get soft, fluffy bandages to cover it in case the bar from certain rides rubs against it!!!

My problem is my blood pressure has dropped so much I can't handle it any more. :cursing: Very sad about that part of it.

But with a resting pressure of 90/60 or a little less it doesn't have far to drop before I pass out.

We just came back from Disney and I rode all the coasters with absolutely no problem! That was a great NSV moment for me because I didn't 'just barely fit'...I fit comfortably! First time in 17 years that I've been able to ride the coasters! Woot!

I was a bit worried about those that had restraints that went over the shoulders, fearing the bottom part would push against my port, but they were all fine.

Enjoy!

Thanks for all the feedback! I never thought about the band being an issue until yesterday and I'm so glad everything will be fine! I am an Orlando addict!!

Disney, Universal & Seaworld, here I come!!!!!!! :cursing:

(for anyone else who loves the rides, Cedar Point in OH is awesome too!!)

Have a great week everyone!!

I have done some roller coasters and other crazy rides ( and bungee jumping strapped at my waist) and I have never had a problem.

You might however notice you don't get the butterflies in your stomach feeling. Thats what happened to me. It was so weird!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
