I have a DisneyWorld trip planned Dec 10. I don't have a sleeve date yet but we're thinking end of August. I hope to be down quite a bit before the trip but I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with the Magic Bands not fitting. Or have you had any issues with not fitting on the rides?

I haven't been to Disney as "Pooh-Sized"- I'm currently 5'3", 270#.

You will be fine with your magic band. Rides, I would just google pooh sized rides. I know there are groups on Facebook that could answer that about the rides. I never had any problems with rides but I didn't go on any roller coasters.

I looked years ago because I was worried about rides too and I found a lot of info on being overweight. Disney is very fat friendly so don't worry!

Last time I went to Disney World I was more like pooh sized riding on top of Eeyore!!! 348 pounds!! And I did fine!!! The magic kingdom in particular is very fat friendly with their rides. You'll be fine!! Disney is my favorite place on earth. Enjoy!!!

We were at Disney World last year. Your stats fit more in line with my wife at 5'4 and 325lbs. She was able to fit on every ride we tried. You may have some issues with the roller coaster type rides, like space mountain or the Snow White mine ride. We didn't try those because of size issues we read about online. Other than those you'll be fine. Enjoy yourself!

If you're making a trip over to Universal, that's a whole other story.

My husband and I went to Disney World a few months before my surgery.

He is 6'5 and at that time was over 400 lbs. He is also very big boned (football player build and wears a size 15 men's shoes!) We were worried the bands wouldn't fit him but they did!!! He wore it on the last notch but it fit fine.

So, if it fit him...it should fit most anyone! lol

We also both fit on all the ride. However, the runaway mine train was really uncomfortable at that time. Though now...I should be able to fit with no problem!

Hope that makes you feel better. :)

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
