Maybe A Silly Question

[bandedCary 3]

I Have a silly question I think but I'm curious. This summer I plan on going to a park with roller coaster rides. Has anyone with a lap band been on fast rides and had any bad reaction with their band? I've always been nervous about rides making me sick - even before lap band. Now I'm wondering if having a band will make it worse, better, or no difference. Thanks!

Somebody else asked this the other day, We must all plan on rollercoasters this summer.

I haven't been able to fit on one in years but I can now and come August I'm going to ride every ride in the park.

I don't think the band would affect you at all.

Have Fun!

I have wondered about this. Specifically if the force of the coaster throwing you about and into the gaurd rail could possibly hurt the band...

I've never been a coaster fan - as in I'M TERRIFIED OF THEM! I would always be the benchwarmer when my late husband and friends went on them. But last year, my new husband and I went to Disneyland and I went on everything. I have to admit - I had fun! Didn't bother my band a bit (actually, I never even thought about it). This past Christmas-time we went to knotts berry Farm with my husbands kids. He got me on everything there too - even the upside down ones. Scared but had fun anyway!

I think they're perfectly safe. I can't imagine what the jerking would do to a plastic band that attached to us would even do? Have fun!
