Like rollercoasters? If so, I would strongly advise against it... just my personal opinion though.

There is only one success--to be able to spend your life in your own way.

Hey there! I rode rollercoasters at 20 days out. And there are plenty of rides at Knotts that aren't full blown coasters. If you are concerned, ask your surgeon what they think. Mine said - no worries, but I would be knocked out tired after the day - he was right. Magic Mountain kicked my ass. lol.

What's up at Knott's tonight? I have no life - so living vicariously thru strangers now :P

Hey laroc. Every doc may say something different. Since everyone heals different. My daughter earned Disneyland tickets for selling girl scout cookies. The date to go was Sept. 8th. He did not clear me to go and told me to wait til I was 6 weeks out. Said that rides could jerk me around too much for the internal stitches. I want to follow his advice, so the trip is postponed til Oct. 6. Check with him though. I had hernia and sleeve surgery, you may heal faster. Hope that helps.
