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!!!! ;)

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
