Hi Everyone,

This is the most exciting wow probably for me by far.  I went yesterday to my husband's union picnic held at Clementon Park in New Jersey.  Well, every time I've gone before it was horrible.  It was always so hot and I couldn't go on any rides because I wouldn't fit.  And I even hated the water park because I was too embarassed to wear my bathing suit.

Well, gues what???  I went on rides and fit perfectly.  And I rode my first roller coaster and was scared to death.  It was called Hell Cat and it was pure hell :)  Meaning, I should have choosen something calmer to go on as my first ride :)  But I fit in the seat and the bar came down and the seat belt had a ton of extra room in it.  It was the greatest feeling in the world.  And I'll tell you what...there would have been no way 183 pounds ago that I would have EVER, EVER fit in that seat.  I was just ecstatic.

Then it was off to the water park.  I had a little bit of an issue flopping my arms and legs around, but I got over it and I enjoyed myself.  I couldn't go on any slides or really get in the water past my hips because of the biliary tube.  But it didn't matter, because I sat on the edge swinging my feet in the water, catching some sun.  And it was the BEST feeling in the world!!!!

I love this surgery...I love Barix....I love all of you....and I love life right now!!!!

Karen

Congratulations  I remember going to Clemeton when I was younger.  Have they built it up ? No water park then. They used to have "Pepsi" days and I think the tickets were like 10 cents ( remember this was Looooooong time ago )

Karen,

I'm sooooooo happy for you and you've earned the right to such happiness, you've worked your butt off to get where you are.

Hugs, Laureen

Fantastic WOW moment!! I know you had to be thrilled!! I can't wait til I can get on rides again and not be embarrassed because the lap bars won't fit. That had to be an incredible feeling! Glad you had such a great time.

Karen that is so awesome! Thank you for sharing that WOW~I bet the feeling had to be the best. That is a goal for next summer a weekend at Hershey to ride the rollar coaster that I couldn't ten years ago.

Enjoy these moments!
