Rollercoasters?

[Champ715 207]

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.

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

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.

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.
