Hey guys...stupid question but here goes:

Im working with NYU, and it looks like I will be getting banded sometime in October. I did the seminar, psych eval, and have an appt for the nutritionist in sept. Im putting together a list of things I want to do (or will be able to do) when I lose the weight, kind of as motivation for the tough days. anyway, does anyone know if I will be able to go on a roller coaster after getting banded? I used to love rollercoasters, and I can't wait to go on one again(Im a kid at heart). I can just inmagine the band slipping or something .

I actually hadn't thought of this before, but it is something worth asking. One of the things I am looking forward to after losing the weight is being able to go to an amusement park and be able to go on rides. I don't think there would be a problem, especially since you can work out and everything just fine, but who knows? If anybody knows, let us know!!

I can't wait to be able to go on rollercoasters and not worry anymore..

tell me about it. I used to LOVE them. My wife and I went to disney for our honeymon, and I was able to go on a lot of the rides, as they were very accomodating, Universal studios, another story, rude to say the least. anyway, that was 5 years ago, and I can't wait to get back on!

I asked my doc about this at the pre-op visit, she said that bandsters could do virtually anything - skydive, scubadive, and rollercoasters. I was glad to hear it! If anyone's heard anything different it would be good to hear, but I haven't seen anyone post about any problems with roller coasters before.
