Does anyone knowcan you still sky dive parasail, bngy jump ride roller coasters after surg? Or will this knd of activity make the band slip?

Crazy question I know. Thanks All

Good question. I wondered about sky-diving too. I still have my raincheck from when I was washed out by a thunderstorm. Anyone?

Gosh I hope so. I'll ask Thursday, unless someone who is seeing their doc between now and then can ask.

I was just pleased as punch that I could still scuba dive.

If you could or wanted to do any of these things BEFORE being banded, you'll be MORE able to do them after you lose weight. The band will not in itself prohibit you from taking any crazy chan... I mean, doing whatever extreme sports might float your boat. Have at it! :biggrin1:

That sounds great! I haven't been sking in years. I can hardly wait to show my kids that this "old" woman still has it in her!

I was told not to get into any contact sports, no martial arts, boxing etc has anyone heard differently? I want to take Crav Manga with my husband.

I want to fit in the seat for the rollercoaster called the Superman here at Six Flags New England. Years ago I just squeezed in and the ride was great. Had not been back until just this month and low and behold I could not fit in the seat. No ride for this fat ass! So when I get banded and lose enough pounds, I'm heading back to tackle once again that rollercoaster!!!!

You go girl!

yea i was wondering about SCUBA diving??? i was thinking maybe something to do with pressure would irritate the band??

no fair! you live in one of the best places to scuba dive!

I asked my dr. about amusement parks and he said they were fine. Last month I rode the new "Tony Hawk Skateboard " Rollercoaster at 6 flags -St. Louis and it was good. I was happy just to fit in the seat only 3 months after banding ! I'd say "GO FOR IT " !
