For those of you who say "no" why do you feel that way?

I assume it's because the speed of the rides and gravity, 2 weeks post op you're not healed at all.. Your stomach will be tumbling and turning at high velocity.. It's kind of common sense really

Well... i would say no..... we are not allowed to lift heavy weights or do strenuous exercise for 12 weeks due to the risk of ripping apart your staples... so i would assume with high speed, velocity and pressure it would be riskier.

Your wounds on the outside have not healed in 2 weeks... and it takes a minimum of 6 weeks to start to heal properly on the inside

Wait... i just realised you are a bypass patient... not a sleeve... you have also had your intestines re routed and a pouch created.... that would be even longer!

I couldn't ride comfortably in a car 2 weeks out. It took me about 6 weeks at least to feel like doing activities. But that's how my journey has been. Now at 10 months out of RNY I can do anything!!

You have wounds that are barely healed on the outside, let alone on the inside... you have staples holding your stomach and intestines together... at 2 weeks you can barely eat 'real' food. The doctor's don't release us for heavy lifting/ exertions for 6 weeks so our insides can heal.

Riding a coaster is an exertion.

Don't ride a coaster now.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
