Good question. I wondered about sky-diving too. I still have my raincheck from when I was washed out by a thunderstorm. Anyone?

Gosh I hope so. I'll ask Thursday, unless someone who is seeing their doc between now and then can ask.

I was just pleased as punch that I could still scuba dive.

If you could or wanted to do any of these things BEFORE being banded, you'll be MORE able to do them after you lose weight. The band will not in itself prohibit you from taking any crazy chan... I mean, doing whatever extreme sports might float your boat. Have at it! :biggrin1:

I want to fit in the seat for the rollercoaster called the Superman here at Six Flags New England. Years ago I just squeezed in and the ride was great. Had not been back until just this month and low and behold I could not fit in the seat. No ride for this fat ass! So when I get banded and lose enough pounds, I'm heading back to tackle once again that rollercoaster!!!!

I asked my dr. about amusement parks and he said they were fine. Last month I rode the new "Tony Hawk Skateboard " Rollercoaster at 6 flags -St. Louis and it was good. I was happy just to fit in the seat only 3 months after banding ! I'd say "GO FOR IT " !

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
