Roller Coaster?

Question for everyone, and before you say it, I know i should consult my Dr. and I will, but i wanted to find out everyone elses opinion. Ok, so next weekend i will be 3 1/2 weeks post op, do you think it's ok to go to six flags and enjoy some roller coasters? Also has anyone gone and been or or had any problems?

Let me know...

Thanks!

Ashley, I would think you should be fine. My Dr. said resume normal activity after 3 weeks, but I think you should definitely ask him. The roller coasters do jerk you around quite a bit. But... I think if you're not having any problems, you should be fine. It's not going to damage your band at all.

I would stay away from jerky ones, I'm 6 months post op and just got back from Orlando. The Rock and Roller Coaster at Hollywood Studios (formerly MGM Studios - when did they change the name?) 0 - 60 in 3.2 seconds caused me no problems, then my wife wanted to go on Big Thunder Mountain at the M.K. - I hate that jerky old thing! But to please my wife we went on it. While I don't think it hurt anything I did feel some twinges and I sure felt worse afterwards than I ever did in the past when riding it.

Just to be safe call your doctors office and ask them.
