Does anyone know how far out you need to be to ride a roller coaster? My friend wants to take me to DisneyLand this weekend but I'm not sure if I should go. I'll be 7 weeks out on Friday.

Tonya,
Ask Christina about roller coasters. I don't think she recommends them after her experience.

i would call the office. did you have open or lap. if you had open, i would say at least 8 weeks or more. be careful. remember, you had a major surgery.

I like you answer the best so are you going to go bungee jumping with me...LOL I really want to go on some roller coasters, bungee jumping and I want to jump out of a plane.....LOL I'm silly. I was Lap and I don't think I'll have any problems but I'll check and make sure. Thanks for the help

I went on just about all the rides at Universal Studios at about 6 weeks out and i had no problem....except for one ride where you get into a big car like chariot and there is a huge screen in front of you and the car moves around and jerks...I was uncomfortable on that one.

I didnt try one until 6 months out...thats because Im a wuss and I still have big chic syndrome... still think Im too big. But tomorrow night I am going to Sea World adn gonna ride another rollercoaster... the journey to Atlantis... it feels so good to fit! It feels good knowing that my kids will never be embarassed by my size... they are just going to be embarassed because they think Im a dork! Ahhh motherhood! i say go for it sugar pea, just use judgement but they way they harness you in... have fun, hang on and buy at least one of those stupid pictures they take of you on the ride when your not expecting it! Since I cant be there, I wanna see it!

Tonya,

I had quite the experience on a roller coaster at about 3 months out I think. Anyway I was opened (twice) and I went on one that twirled me upside down and stuff.. don't think you'll be doing that at Disneyland.. If they have rides like that.. steer clear of them.. lol

Anyway the experience sucked Kelly said I tore the insides of my incision again on that ride.. but I'm ok now.

Just hurt for a bit.. good luck and have fun!!!
