Hi From Virginia Beach! My Surgery Is On The 6Th Of August

Hi everyone!

I have waited almost a year for this to come full circle. Just one more day and I will start a new chapter of my life : ) I am lucky to have a loving and supportive husband thru all of this. He's always told me I am beautiful no matter what. He's a keeper. I am tired of being tired. I am tired of missing out on all the rides at Busch Gardens for the last four years because I don't fit and don't want to be embarrassed by trying to fit.

My goal is to be healthy and happy and ride that dang new roller coaster by the end of the year : )

I am scared I will fail. There is no room to fail yet the thought is there.

One day at a time. Right : )

I know how you feel. I decided to do it when I took my son to Great Adventure's and was asked to get off the ride because the bar couldn't lock :-( it was the most embarrassing and lifechanging moment. That's when I knew I had to take my life back and start living and have FUN!!

Good luck to you

Hi there.

I also go tommorow and can not wait! I agree completely with everything you said. I have 4 children and want to start participating more in their and my own life.

I am a bit nervous today, just can't wait to get on the other side of this.

Wishing you luck and much happiness. :)

Oh my gosh I have seen them do that to people. That is why I just stopped standing in the lines even. It broke my heart when my daughter told my husband "Mama doesn't like roller coasters". Ugh yes I do. I made her a promise last Christmas I would ride a roller coaster with her. It was so sad having a lady larger than me stuff me it the ride just so I didn't have to break my promise to my daughter : (

Thank you! How exciting for you. Gosh and here I thought the last week of liquids only was the hardes hahahaha. One day at a time right : )

The ride attendant wasn't really rude...just said that the bar couldnt lock nd I had to get off. At that point I hadn't been to an amusement park in about 11 years so I didn't know I couldn't fit, was a bit skeptical but decided to chance it :-( it wasn't really the fact that I couldn't fit...it was the laughter from every1 on the ride and it was so hard not to cry.
