You should ask your surgeon if that's okay because they are the only one that can give you the okay for that.

IMO you won't feel like it that soon after surgery. The pressure on your incisions will be bad and could hurt or do damage.

Once again ask your surgeon if it's okay. Can't emphasize that enough.

Thank you so much, I'll ask next week when I go in for my pre test

I would say that would be a no go! I am just over two weeks out and although I am feeling better finally, I would not want to get on a rollar coaster in another week. You'll still be sore and quick movement is not something you want to feel around you incision site!

It definitely depends on your doctor and your recovery. He will probably tell you if you feel up to it, go for it. It all depends on how you feel at that time. I had virtually no pain and no complications so I would've done it. Some other people I wouldn't recommend it for.

Thank you ladies.. I'll be consulting with my doctor.. I recover pretty quickly I had 2 c sections in less than 3 years I healed in a week.. I also has breast reduction. That was major surgery,, I also healed within a week or less.. But I'll be speaking with my doctor because all surgeries are different

I agree about the doc and I'm glad you're checking with him.

My guess would be no because those coaster put a lot of g-force on your body... not just internal but external. They older I've gotten the harder I've found it to be to catch my breath on the really fast coasters. And I don't even have any pulmonary issues. That with the Jerky action -- I'm thinking probably not.

      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!
