Does anyone know after surgery will I be able to ride the rides in amusement park? Just wondering if it would hurt r do damage to the band? Thanks 4 all your help:)

I would be afraid to go on them right after surgery. They say we should wait between 4 and 6 weeks to start exercising. I think the same would apply to the amusement rides as you often get thrown around. I wouldn't take the chance.

I hope you can, because that's one of my goals. I want to be able to ride all the rollercoasters at Six Flags again. I have a million little things on my "skinny list". :-)

They won't damage the band... I've went on them a few times since I was banded. I just wouldn't go right after surgery.

No you wont be able to go on rides right after surgery. It hurts, its surgery!

Me too Laura, I already made plans to be there once im small enough

I don't see why not! I've done some pretty rough things to my body (including roller coasters) after surgery and have had no negative effects.

I would just avoid it if you have had surgery recently or your incisions are not fully healed. Other than that, bombs away!!!

Ride on girl! One of my biggest victories was being able to fit in a roller coaster again, and I LOVED IT!!! No worries!

Thank you everyone:)
