How long after gastric sleeve before getting on a roller coaster



Recommended Posts

I know it is an unusual question. However, my niece and nephew will be coming to stay with me about two weeks after surgery for the summer. I bought season passes for all of us to Six Flags. I can always wait while they ride. However, I am wondering if anyone has an idea about how long after surgery I can ride. Thank you.

Oh I would watch them - 2 weeks post-op - I wouldn't be messing with your insides jiggling on a roller coaster. Ask your Surgeon but I wouldn't chance it for a long time.

Good question. I have a kid soul and I love Six Flags, since I had my son haven't been able to fit into the rides. It's actually a personal goal of mines once I have surgery.

I had surgery on September 30, 2015 and was cleared for roller coasters by November 12th. The surgeon told me I was healed up inside but he did warn me that I might get nauseated. I didn't try a rollercoaster until March 12 and I got major motion sickness. I think it was a combination of not eating a lot, heat, and motion. Needless to say, I think I'm finally too old for rollercoasters haha

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
