cedar point here I come

Hi Guys,
I had my surgery Apr. 27th and am down 40lbs from my presurgery hi.....I'm gong to CP to ride the Top Thrill this weekend...can't wait...it's a dream of mine :) YAHOO!

Hi there

Great job on the weight loss so far.

Don't know what the Top Thrill is but sounds exciting. Enjoy and update us when you return

Take care

Have fun!

Not to be a killjoy but is it safe to go on thrill rides so soon after surgery?

I would love to go to wonderland this summer but thing that you need to be at least the six weeks out. Those roller coasters and drop zone type rides pack a lot of punch.
 

really? I was sure dr. hong said it should be ok oy ....well it's it's gonna kill me I guess I won't :(

Call and check. Can't hurt to verify.

 I was in Disney at 4 weeks out.  With my surgeon's approval.  I had textbook healing and all my incisions were sealed.  

I rode ALL the rides at Disney - and did all the water park rides as well.  When I did the wave pool - I got bashed around pretty hard and decided that was a bit more than I was ready for!!  But that was the only place where I felt any limitations (other than the food thing!).

If you haven't asked your surgeon - it would be good to check...but I'll bet he'll say it's fine...

I did go to Cedar Point many years ago and would love to go there again,,,,,,,, when i can fit in the rides(someday i will again)............      was lots of fun

So you will be 3 weeks out from surgery......and want to be strapped into a ride that will throw your body around.  I would want to verify with the Nurse Practitioner if there may be health risks associated with new internal plumbing stitching and centrifical force.  There is a reason why they ask us not to lift stuff post-surgery.

I hope you get approval soon to be the thrill seeker you are :)

I will go by the hospital this week for sure and ask...good idea
