Can I still ride a roller coaster?

[beffy12 5]

I am newly banded 12/21 and I know this is probably an odd question but its been on my mind the past couple of days and I'm hoping someone out there can put my mind at ease.

My family and I are planning a trip to Disney World at the end of March and I want to be able to ride the thrill rides with everyone else. I was really just worried about all the jolting with where the port is placed.

Eventually my goal is to go back to Cedar Point in Ohio and ride the roller coaster I was to fat to fit into a few years ago.

Thanks for all your help, Beth

I will ride roller coasters again... the first time I get a chance to!!! The band will not stop me from doing any of the fun things I used to do!

Yes definitely can. I do crossfit and it is very very strenous. My doctor after 3 weeks of having the surgery said I can go for it. I am also going to Universal Studies on January 19 and he said after chuckling, lol it was just fine.

How is it going for you?

Happy New Year!!

We better be able too. One of my biggest motivators to losing weight is to be able to ride any ride I want.

So far it's going really well. Haven't had to take to much pain medication. Today was the first day I experienced what felt like hunger.. My stomach was actually growling. I've lost 11 pounds according to my scales in 9 days.

Yes you can I rode one I'm not sure how long after I was banned but I was fine.

I was banded 10/24 and went to Disney 12/5... rode everything! No issues... in fact, it was nice fitting better into them! You should be fine.

Also let me tell you... there are plenty of places you can get decent food (not all burgers and chicken tenders). You can IM me if you are interested ALSO know that at any counter service you can just order a sandwich and not them combo.. Also, it you ask for ice Water (not bottled) its free. If I was somewhere that didn't have a great healthy choice.. I would get a cheeseburger and eat half without the bun... or a grilled chicken sandwich no bun... I was worried about eating at Disney with the band... it was very easy.

Absolutely you can! Went to Kings Island here in Cincy numerous times over the summer with my kids. It was so nice fitting easily into the seats. And goodness, they are small!!

I did hit my port once while lowering the lap bar but it didn't hurt. Just reminded me it was there.

Have a great time

Thank you so much for the helpful information. I have been a little stressed over it I figured I'd basically have to be over feeding my husband. Nice tip about the ice Water too. How do I IM on here I'm pretty new to this and I'd like to know about the healthier menu places. Thanks sooo much❤ Beth
