Roller Coaster question!

[MaddieJ 82]

I have a question for all you post-op people! I love, love, LOVE roller coasters! I'm wondering if after surgery I'll have nausea on the rides that "tickle" my tummy, or what it's going to feel like when you go down the steepest drop that usually makes my stomach "drop"? There is nothing better than throwing your arms up and letting gravity pull your butt off the seat on the big drops! I'd be so sad if rides felt different! Have any of you post-op people been on roller coasters since your surgery?

I'm an adrenaline junkie too. It feels the exact same. No worries

I've been wanting to ask this same question! Also, how long after surgery should we wait before we try to ride a roller coaster?

I went to Disney 6 weeks afterwards and rode everything no problems

Just make sure your incisions are healed. You won't feel happy banging a sore stomach up on rides all day.

I'm in Texas.... I'm real worried about getting in enough Water at Six Flags. I usually drink tons because it's so hot here. At six weeks can you drink a bunch?

I'm in TX too. I live very close to fiesta tx. Just chew on ice ALL day long.

At that stage getting your 64oz is like a full time job. You just keep a bottle in your hand all day and drink.. I had a bottle of Water (still do) everywhere I went.

It's refreshing and easier in extreme heat to have ice all day. TX is really really hot.

I like the "not really" part why did you edit it

I mean what do I know, I live in Northern California where it's perfect all the time

Yeah, I mean however you can get at least 64oz..

Ice is a great idea! Texas in the summer feels like the devil opened up hell and let all the heat out! Lol....

I would ask your surgeon about how long you should wait to ride, but I would think at least until your staple line is healed--about the time that you would be approved for more strenuous organized exercise classes and/or strength training (probably somewhere between 8 and 12 weeks post-op...unless you are an overachiever like Laura ). YSMV (Your Surgeon May Vary).

my surgeon cleared me yes.. I think he figured the belly fat would protect me
