Crazy question. Skydiving with the band?



Recommended Posts

Okay. Crazy question, but is it okay to skydive with the band? I know I should ask my doctor, but thought I would ask ya'll first. Has anyone ever done this with the band? I'm thinking about skydiving, but then again, I think I'm crazy. Hehe.

My Dcotor said not even to be jumping on a trampoline much less out of a plane. That is a question for sure for the dcotor! I know I say this all the time but love the puppy.

No jumping on a trampoline? Really? Wow. My doctor hasn't said anything about limiting my activities and he knows I ride horses on a regular basis, which is a constant fall risk.

One thing about skydiving, if the chute doesn't open the last thing you are going to have to worry about is dislodging the band.:D I think sky diving sounds wonderful and I hope you get to do it, Jessica.

My friend went skydiving after getting a lap band! Not sure how long after, but she did it with no problems! I will sky dive one day, too! FUN!

This guy I went to school with posted his skydiving trip on FB so I thought it would be cool to do. My cousin and I have talked about it before, and there is a place close to where I live. I don't know. I think I could do it, but when I get up there, I'm afraid I would chicken out. I'm sure it is pretty scary, and it's like $200 plus to do it. If I pay that money, I will be jumping out of the plane dang it. Hehe.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
