Paulax 8 Posted June 26, 2006 :biggrin1: I am scheduled to be banded July 21st. Dh and I are taking the kids to Disney 2-4 months later. Dumb question #1.......:nervous Can I go on the scary rides without damaging anything, or am I going to have to sit there lame and watch all the fun. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hedwig 0 Posted June 26, 2006 I am three weeks out and I am gonna start to workout a bit today. I feel preety good. Still tender in the port area and can't sleep on my side but I feel pretty normal. My point is I Know I would be ready for rollercoasters in a couple months. I know were all different but I think you should be ready. Just watch your port area and make sure it doesn't get smashed. Then again you should be ok. Good luck on the band, and have a happy fealing. I am fresh out so if you have any questions about recovery or anything just reach me.

wavydaby 1 Posted June 26, 2006 I am a roller coaster freak, so the first think I asked my Dr was, how long do I have to wait before I ride a roller coaster? He said 6 weeks.. to let everything heal. Are you going to Disney world or land? I would skip mission space in world. I rode it. I wanted to puke my brains out and that was WITH a motion sickness patch.< /p> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bye 0 Posted June 26, 2006 Boy, does that make me happy. I thought I would have to stop celebrating St. Patrick's Day. And for an Irish lass born in Savannah, GA, that is HARD!!! Oops...I was responding to the booze or no booze thread. I swear I'm not drinking at this moment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kat817 19 Posted June 26, 2006 I am 9 weeks out, and can do anything I could before, probably more, now that I am minus the 30 pounds!! I haven't had the opportunity to ride a roller coaster, or I would have. That was one thing I always worried about before, fitting on the rides...sure will be nice not to think about that next time!! Good Luck in your surgery and recovery!!! Kat Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BakoGal 0 Posted June 26, 2006 I am only 5 weeks from surgery and feel complete normal. The only pain I have is if I really press hard on the scar near my port. Other than that, I don't feel like I have any physical restrictions. Everyone is different, but based on my own experience, I would be planning a trip to Disney!!! Checking with your Dr. is also a good idea. Better safe than sorry! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
juliegeraci 7 Posted June 27, 2006 You should be fine with that timeframe. You can't even feel the band or anything after a few weeks. The port site does stay a little sore so with a safety belt you may feel that on the ride. Other than that, go have fun. We are planning a trip to Disneyland in August and I'm newly banded in June.
