Silly Question I know but...



Recommended Posts

I will be 3 months post-op on 1/27 and rarely have port pain. I feel that my port is healed pretty well. So my silly question is....have any of you thought about and/or rode a roller coaster since your surgery? Would you even consider doing this? I have a fill appointment Friday and plan to ask my surgeon her thoughts, but I wanted to get your thoughts too.

I'm 6 weeks post-op and I would consider it. I have no pain and I'm able to sleep on my stomach as usual. I don't really see a reason not to ride a roller coaster at 3 months post-op, unless in your case your doctor has some other reason. My doctor said I could return to all normal activities, including strenuous exercise, after 6 weeks.

This is part of my plan!! I'm only 22 and haven't been able to get on rollercoasters since I don't fit, so me and my boyfriend plan on hitting all the amusement parks when I lose weight!! But I'm only 2 weeks out so I'm a lil far out still

HAHA!!! I am 24 and e and the hubby are going to do the same thing. I am not sure if I can fit but I don't want that embarrassing moment of not getting in and out without a scene! I am getting Banded in June 11 so I am counting down. laugh.gif

I have been on dozens of coaster since being banded. I rode my favorite The Rocking Rollercoaster at Disney 8 times in a row! I think you will be okay if you aren't having any discomfort there should be no reason why you can't. It wouldn't hurt to check with your doctor to see what their take on it is. Mine said no restrictions unless it is causing pain. I am leaving for Disney again in 46 days and am just itchin to get back on a couple hundred times! lol

I definitely plan on doing it!!! After pretty much having to be shoved in one with a shoe horn with about a hundred onlookers in line, I owe the nitro some payback!!!! ;)

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
