How long after gastric sleeve before getting on a roller coaster



Recommended Posts

I know it is an unusual question. However, my niece and nephew will be coming to stay with me about two weeks after surgery for the summer. I bought season passes for all of us to Six Flags. I can always wait while they ride. However, I am wondering if anyone has an idea about how long after surgery I can ride. Thank you.

Oh I would watch them - 2 weeks post-op - I wouldn't be messing with your insides jiggling on a roller coaster. Ask your Surgeon but I wouldn't chance it for a long time.

Good question. I have a kid soul and I love Six Flags, since I had my son haven't been able to fit into the rides. It's actually a personal goal of mines once I have surgery.

I had surgery on September 30, 2015 and was cleared for roller coasters by November 12th. The surgeon told me I was healed up inside but he did warn me that I might get nauseated. I didn't try a rollercoaster until March 12 and I got major motion sickness. I think it was a combination of not eating a lot, heat, and motion. Needless to say, I think I'm finally too old for rollercoasters haha
