If you could do it now at your present weight, it will be a cake walk a month after surgery.

Vomiting-and-dumping-r-us! LOL! (That is only because I have to try *everything* . . .) Anyway, the recovery time depends on if you have to throw up or if you get dumping. If you throw up (from eating too fast, not chewing well enough, or just eating something your stomach decides to reject), you'll feel great immediately afterwards. It is nothing like vomiting is now. If you get dumping, it depends on what it was you ate and how bad the dumping is. Usually, for me, dumping lasts about 30 min. but I had it for four hours once from an ice cream cone. Anyway, dumping is bad -- you really feel like you must lay down. I've never managed to not lay down during dumping so I don't know what it's like if you just kept walking. I'd say for sure avoid anything with a lot of sugar in it at Disneyworld. > This trip is especially important for my family (our first time to Disney) > and I want to make sure that everyone has a good time.
