Is it too early to have fun at Amusement park?

Hello everyone, I have a question. I am 3 months and 2 weeks post op and I am wondering if it might be too soon to go to an Amusement park? Since I live within a few hours of Silver Dollar City, that was going to be my next destination. We went to Busch Gardens and Sea World a few months before my surgery since we didn't know how long I'd be down and out, lol. I feel great, but I'm worried the insides might not be doing as well as I think, since some rides can jerk you around a bit (or go upside down). Anyone have any suggestions or any experience doing this so soon? I'm really wanting to be able to do this.....

Thanks!

I'll be asking my doc on Monday...I need a Cedar Point fix!

Please let us know what you find out from your doctor. I want to ride some roller coasters so bad. I am 3 months post op, and I had a daVinci.

I'm gong around 5 weeks post op so I think ill ask my dr today!

Im 3 weeks post op , I was hoping to try to go to six flags or something near the end of august .. now you have me worried I might just have to wait till next year

I would be interested to see what your doctor says. They say it takes 6 months to a year to really be all the way healed so I am not sure I would chance it but everyone is different.

So I had my appt today and he said more than likely ill be cleared at 6 weeks but he will give his official decision then

That is what I am worried about. As it was, I was not given the all clear until 8 wks. post op, cause I was healing a little slow on the inside. I have trouble mowing the yard, but I can run around a bit in the backyard with the dog, or playing kickball with family. I'm thinking maybe I should call my dr., but I was also just seeing if anyone here had gone through it ok.

i asked my dr and he said it was ok and I went at 11 weeks post op he told me to have fun!

ok, thanks for your input allopez!
