Will I Be Able To Do Seaworld, For 2-3 Hours, 1 Day Post-Op?



Recommended Posts

While I normally bounce back from everything, I am not sure about purchasing SeaWorld ticket in advance . I have 4 hours from the time I leave hospital until I can check into my room in SanDiego 1st day post-op. I really want to take the mission bay sky-lift ride, and see the dolphins & sharks. I think I can do these 3 things and be alright. They aren't physically demanding, but the walking will be quite alot. But I'm think I'll need to walk,and that it would be away to ensure I do some walking that day. I'm afraid if I went back to the room immediately I might just lay down and sleep. I think I'll just wait and see...But I have to have something to do for 3 hours so I might as well do Sea World...What do you all think?

You might be able to do this at Seaworld. Its a big park, just walk a little and then sit. There are wheel chairs available if you have someone to push you. It might be tender in the surgery incision if you try and push yourself. I've included infor on electric strollers for you, very reasonable and being :handicapped" for a day or so, you can get on the rides first and your party is included. Enjoy yourself at SeaWorld and best wishes again Surgery day.

Thanks, I plan to go ahead and try. we"ll do the mission bay skyride, and see the dolphins & killer whales then probably leave. I usually bounce back from stuff easily. Actually I found out when could probably get in the room early, but this is our only day to actually do something fun. I've never been to cA. or Mexico or anywhere farther west than Missouri so we want to try to do something! It'll probably be along time before I get to go back there. Sorry if I spelled anything wrong but the print on this site is tiny today? Is it that way on your pc? I can't even read it and I don't have poor eyesight it's so small. Just started doing this today...Thanks...

No, the print is all okay on my pc. I use Firefox 13.0.

Boy, I would go slow. You're talking the day after surgery? Forget what was done to you, just being under general anasthesia takes a toll on your body. I think I would hold off on pre purchasing, and pay the extra on the day. It would be awful to feel you had to go because you had already bought the tickets, rather than go because you feel up to it and really want to.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
