I'm leaving tomorrow to go to Disney and something just popped in my head. I'm sure it will be ok but just want comfirmation......is it ok to be riding rollercoasters and thrill rides with the band? I'm more concerned about hurting my port than my band since my port is so close to the surface and can get tender from anything physical.

I did every roller coaster at Hershey Park last month including "Storm Runner".......had no problems at all....and the best part was....I FIT!!!!!! :cursing:

CONGRATULATIONS! That's good to hear because I'm a rollercoaster lover!!!

Glad to hear you liked Hersheypark. I'm a local and my son works there. I love to get his employee passes and go for free! Rollercoasters are no problem for the band. In fact, they're a lot more fun because I get more airtime now that I'm so much lighter.

Enjoy your trip to Disney!

thanks for asking that question cause me and my husband are going to Las Vegas for Christmas and staying at CircusCircus and we want to ride the rides

I am a Disney addict!! I just wanted to wish you a great trip!! You're going to love every second!!

I don't see issues with your band. Maybe if you're concerned about port irritation at the surface, get soft, fluffy bandages to cover it in case the bar from certain rides rubs against it!!!

@ two months post op I went to kings island and rode every single rollercoaster :cursing: you'll be fine :huh2:

My problem is my blood pressure has dropped so much I can't handle it any more. :cursing: Very sad about that part of it.

But with a resting pressure of 90/60 or a little less it doesn't have far to drop before I pass out.

have fun and totally enjoy yourself- you're going to have the thrill of your life...plus i bet it must be somewhat spooky for halloween!!!:cursing:

We just came back from Disney and I rode all the coasters with absolutely no problem! That was a great NSV moment for me because I didn't 'just barely fit'...I fit comfortably! First time in 17 years that I've been able to ride the coasters! Woot!

I was a bit worried about those that had restraints that went over the shoulders, fearing the bottom part would push against my port, but they were all fine.

Enjoy!

Thanks for all the feedback! I never thought about the band being an issue until yesterday and I'm so glad everything will be fine! I am an Orlando addict!!

Disney, Universal & Seaworld, here I come!!!!!!! :cursing:

(for anyone else who loves the rides, Cedar Point in OH is awesome too!!)

Have a great week everyone!!

I have done some roller coasters and other crazy rides ( and bungee jumping strapped at my waist) and I have never had a problem.

You might however notice you don't get the butterflies in your stomach feeling. Thats what happened to me. It was so weird!
