How long after surgery can I get on roller coasters ? I'm getting surgery July 7th and my birthday is July 30th.. Anyone has a clue ???

You should ask your surgeon if that's okay because they are the only one that can give you the okay for that.

IMO you won't feel like it that soon after surgery. The pressure on your incisions will be bad and could hurt or do damage.

Once again ask your surgeon if it's okay. Can't emphasize that enough.

Thank you so much, I'll ask next week when I go in for my pre test

I would say that would be a no go! I am just over two weeks out and although I am feeling better finally, I would not want to get on a rollar coaster in another week. You'll still be sore and quick movement is not something you want to feel around you incision site!

It definitely depends on your doctor and your recovery. He will probably tell you if you feel up to it, go for it. It all depends on how you feel at that time. I had virtually no pain and no complications so I would've done it. Some other people I wouldn't recommend it for.

Thank you ladies.. I'll be consulting with my doctor.. I recover pretty quickly I had 2 c sections in less than 3 years I healed in a week.. I also has breast reduction. That was major surgery,, I also healed within a week or less.. But I'll be speaking with my doctor because all surgeries are different

I agree about the doc and I'm glad you're checking with him.

My guess would be no because those coaster put a lot of g-force on your body... not just internal but external. They older I've gotten the harder I've found it to be to catch my breath on the really fast coasters. And I don't even have any pulmonary issues. That with the Jerky action -- I'm thinking probably not.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
