Angel76 0 Posted January 24, 2011 I will be 3 months post-op on 1/27 and rarely have port pain. I feel that my port is healed pretty well. So my silly question is....have any of you thought about and/or rode a roller coaster since your surgery? Would you even consider doing this? I have a fill appointment Friday and plan to ask my surgeon her thoughts, but I wanted to get your thoughts too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JerseyGirl80 12 Posted January 24, 2011 I'm 6 weeks post-op and I would consider it. I have no pain and I'm able to sleep on my stomach as usual. I don't really see a reason not to ride a roller coaster at 3 months post-op, unless in your case your doctor has some other reason. My doctor said I could return to all normal activities, including strenuous exercise, after 6 weeks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steph951 1 Posted January 24, 2011 This is part of my plan!! I'm only 22 and haven't been able to get on rollercoasters since I don't fit, so me and my boyfriend plan on hitting all the amusement parks when I lose weight!! But I'm only 2 weeks out so I'm a lil far out still Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jennibee 3 Posted January 25, 2011 I have been on dozens of coaster since being banded. I rode my favorite The Rocking Rollercoaster at Disney 8 times in a row! I think you will be okay if you aren't having any discomfort there should be no reason why you can't. It wouldn't hurt to check with your doctor to see what their take on it is. Mine said no restrictions unless it is causing pain. I am leaving for Disney again in 46 days and am just itchin to get back on a couple hundred times! lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pamalamadingdong 0 Posted January 25, 2011 I'm looking forward to fitting back on rides. I had also never thought about these rides affecting my band either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nurseAMY11 0 Posted January 25, 2011 I definitely plan on doing it!!! After pretty much having to be shoved in one with a shoe horn with about a hundred onlookers in line, I owe the nitro some payback!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
