Amusement Park 2 months after surgery..



Recommended Posts

Hey everyone! I'm getting sleeved on 7/5 and before I even got my date we (hubby & I) promised our 9 yr old that for her Birthday we would take her to Cedar Pointe during the Halloween Weekend thingy in September... We're leaning towards later September, so I'll be more like 2 1/2 months out.. do you think I could ride roller coasters with her for her first time? She's always been too short in the past and I believe she'll finally meet the height requirements for the big ones, like the Magnum... I REALLY wanna do that with her, but I also don't wanna hurt my stomach either... I haven't had a chance to ask the doctor about this yet, but I thought I'd get your expert options first.... since it's now 1 am and I seem to be obsessing over it! :lol:

Thanks!

Wendy

I went to Legoland at about 4 weeks out...didnt ride to many rides but walked like 4-5 miles. I think I would have felt up to riding rides but I just hung out with baby girl. I think you will be fine to ride rides. Take good care of your self in the begining and follow ALL of the Dr's orders.

I would think you'd be fine, but that is definately a question for your surgeon. You really don't want damage that far out!!

I just got back from spending a week at Disneyland/California Adventure. I was 10 weeks post surgery when we left. My first victory was being able to sit comfortably in the airplane seats without an extender. I went on all the thrill rides without any discomfort. I had asked my surgeon at my 2 week post appointment and he said no problem. I wasn't able to eat my 70 grams of Protein or drink 64 oz of Water each day, but I did my best. I did have a few bites of holiday food here and there - 1/4 of a corn dog, bbq ribs, cheeseburger without bun, vodoo shrimp, one bite of a cupcake. Some of it didn't feel so good in my stomach for a while, but I kept it all down!

Have fun on your trip.

Marie

Hi Wendy, well it really depends on how much weight you have to lose and what their limits are in order to get onto a roller coaster. Good luck to you and let us know

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
