Roller Coasters Post Op

[Darkangel505 4]

Hi all. So I am getting very close to getting my pre-op appointment scheduled and then a surgery date, but problem is I am going on a vacation end of January '23 and it will be to theme parks. I am figuring I will be only 10-13 weeks out from my surgery and I am concerned that I will not be able to ride roller coasters. They really whip you around and can feel it in the tummy so I am concerned about a leak. Has anyone gone to a theme park after surgery or had your dr tell you how long to avoid an activity like that after surgery? I will definitely be speaking with the surgeon about this, but since that is a few weeks away, I figured I 'd see if anyone on here has had any experience with this. Thanks!

I would definitely still ask your surgeon but I’m thinking they are going to say you are fine. I was only given restrictions in terms of lifting and then exercise but I was cleared for everything before ten weeks. Of course I had no reason to ask about roller coasters so better to ask just to be certain.

Ya I definitely will. I am getting so antsy and worried. ready, but not for this surgery. How long was it before you were cleared for any weight lifting type exercise?

It’s been a year and a half so I can’t remember for certain but I’m 99% sure it was less than two and a half months before I was cleared for strenuous exercise. I’m hoping someone who had their surgery more recently will weigh in and let you know for sure.
