Roller coasters?



Recommended Posts

We are going to Florida next month and will be hitting some of the parks at Disney & Universal. I will be 3 months postop at that time, is it safe to go on the roller coasters and jarring rides at that point? I plan on asking my doctor about it when I get my next fill but I would also like some BTDT opinions as well. It would not be the end of the world if I skipped the rides, I would rather protect my band, but if it is safe, then I am going.

Please let me know what your doctor says. I am getting banded May 9th. I miss roller coasters. I haven't been able to ride for a year or two because the chest harness can't close over me anymore, or if it does, it's SUPER uncomfortable. So I just avoided the humiliation and didn't ride but Lord I miss it.

I agree, I love roller coasters but have avoided them for the last few years because I didn't fit. That is one of the things I am looking forward to.

I was in WDW two months post op and had absolutely no problems with Space Mountain, Expedition Everest or BTMRR. I even found that I fit into the cars on Space Mt. a little easier :)

Hello all,

Well I guess you get the privilege of being my first post on these message boards.......My wife and I had our bandings done in Jan. 08. We just returned from a trip to Orlando March 29 and had a blast. The only problems we had from any of the rides was just a slight tenderness where the port is. I guess from leaning against the restraints of the rides. I say ride anything you want. Enjoy yourself.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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?
