hi! i was wondering if anyone has been on a rollercoaster after having the lap band... i am 4 months post op... so is it okay? i am going to orlando next week and i want to go to a park... please let me know! thanks.

I have been on a roller coasters since my lap-band surgery. I was more than a year post op and it didn't bother me at all. There was only one coaster I felt was too rough and jarred me a lot. I probably will not ride that one again, because I don't want to risk it. Have fun! Be careful!

That's so funny..... I thought you were referring to a ''rollercoaster of emotions".... but you're talking about Space Mountain.

I have no idea- I'm interested in reading some replies!

lol! well we can talk about rollercoaster of emotions too since i am in a huge plateau, my surgeon sucks! and i am on my second fill and dont feel any different... any different than before getting the surgery!!!! so... i dont know what to do... :eek:

i am so tickled that you asked this question!!! believe it or not i actually asked my surgeon this at my post op appointment because i like going to disney and going on rides! he said that it shouldn't be a problem at all! it isn't going to jostle the port out of place or anything like that. the only thing that you would have to think of is you are having any tenderness around the port area - if you are pushing on it too much it might aggravate it, but even still you won't "hurt" anything.

yeah, i live two hours away from orlando, my brother lives there and it is one of my favorite things to do... rollercoasting!

thank you for replying... my port feels fine, so hopefully it would be ok!
