Roller coasters?



Recommended Posts

We are going to Florida next month and will be hitting some of the parks at Disney & Universal. I will be 3 months postop at that time, is it safe to go on the roller coasters and jarring rides at that point? I plan on asking my doctor about it when I get my next fill but I would also like some BTDT opinions as well. It would not be the end of the world if I skipped the rides, I would rather protect my band, but if it is safe, then I am going.

Please let me know what your doctor says. I am getting banded May 9th. I miss roller coasters. I haven't been able to ride for a year or two because the chest harness can't close over me anymore, or if it does, it's SUPER uncomfortable. So I just avoided the humiliation and didn't ride but Lord I miss it.

I agree, I love roller coasters but have avoided them for the last few years because I didn't fit. That is one of the things I am looking forward to.

I was in WDW two months post op and had absolutely no problems with Space Mountain, Expedition Everest or BTMRR. I even found that I fit into the cars on Space Mt. a little easier :)

Hello all,

Well I guess you get the privilege of being my first post on these message boards.......My wife and I had our bandings done in Jan. 08. We just returned from a trip to Orlando March 29 and had a blast. The only problems we had from any of the rides was just a slight tenderness where the port is. I guess from leaning against the restraints of the rides. I say ride anything you want. Enjoy yourself.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
