Rollercoasters?

I am 6 weeks post op as of yesterday. Overall, I feel pretty great. Is it too early to go to a theme park and ride rollercoasters? I haven't had any issues with motion sickness before but I'm not sure how I would handle it now that I've had this surgery.

PS I'm asking here because the nurse at my surgeon's office wouldn't give me a straight answer. Just wondering if anyone can speak from experience.

I'd say to be cautious. The type of harness, how extreme the coaster is...you don't want anything getting squeezed or otherwise manipulated when you're still healing.

I was cleared at week 3 by my surgeon. Went to universal and had a blast on all of the Harry Potter stuff with the kids.

What is the content of not a straight answer from the nurse? There usually is a hint.

She was telling me "Hmm I don't know. I'm not sure. Nobody has asked that before."

Another nurse finally called me back and said it was fine. She said I wouldn't damage anything inside but might have some motion sickness.

Have fun! Maybe she was new. I would still be really cautious about the type of harness, but it's up to you.
