I had the worse experience at six flags today.

So I decided it would be a great idea to go to six flags and get on some rides have a good time. Everyone else did expect for me some of the rides I couldn't fit on which made me feel like crap.

It will only be a short time before you will be able to fit on them. A great NSV for me was when I could go on a ride at Disney's California Adventure that I used to be restricted from because my weight exceeded the limit allowed. That really sucked, so I get where you're coming from.

Try to think of this experience as motivation to do well with your pre op work and your post VSG life. Plan to go to Six Flags next year on July 4th weekend and compare your experiences. You will be amazed!

I live in Ohio and have a trip planned for Cedar Point for that exact same reason....the NSV.

I know what you mean about sitting with your daughter. At my last visit to my son and his family, my 7yo grandson could finally sit beside me on a 1+1/2-sized upholstered chair. It was a bit of a squeeze, but neither of us minded that a bit!

That's a great idea.

So sorry that happened. I always sit the ride out if it has a harness or a seat that looks small.  I've spent most of my life on the sidelines watching everyone else have fun.  Plan another trip next summer and you'll be riding all of the rides I'm sure

I know it sucks. But, yes your right I should look forward to next year.

Honey, that was the turning point for me to get surgery over a decade ago.  This is only temporary.  You'll have the time of your life next year.
