I would not think so but call your surgeon.

For those of you who say "no" why do you feel that way?

I assume it's because the speed of the rides and gravity, 2 weeks post op you're not healed at all.. Your stomach will be tumbling and turning at high velocity.. It's kind of common sense really

Well... i would say no..... we are not allowed to lift heavy weights or do strenuous exercise for 12 weeks due to the risk of ripping apart your staples... so i would assume with high speed, velocity and pressure it would be riskier.

Your wounds on the outside have not healed in 2 weeks... and it takes a minimum of 6 weeks to start to heal properly on the inside

Wait... i just realised you are a bypass patient... not a sleeve... you have also had your intestines re routed and a pouch created.... that would be even longer!

No. Just no.

I couldn't ride comfortably in a car 2 weeks out. It took me about 6 weeks at least to feel like doing activities. But that's how my journey has been. Now at 10 months out of RNY I can do anything!!

I agree, I wouldn't advise it. You just had major surgery with re routing of your intestines etc. I would call the surgeons office and get their opinion.

You have wounds that are barely healed on the outside, let alone on the inside... you have staples holding your stomach and intestines together... at 2 weeks you can barely eat 'real' food. The doctor's don't release us for heavy lifting/ exertions for 6 weeks so our insides can heal.

Riding a coaster is an exertion.

Don't ride a coaster now.
