Rides after LAP-BAND®

I have a question, I like to travel a lot and go to theme parks. Has anyone gone on thrill rides after being banded? How did it effect you? Anyone not able to go on rides afterward?

I was banded on 8/27/07 and just got back from Disney World and Universal Studios. I went on a ton of rides with no issue.

No issues here! Just that the bars holding you in go down a lot further ;-)

It sounds like you guys did just fine! I am a thrill ride fanatic and I was a little worried that I wouldn't be able to go on any of them after being banded.

I was offered a free ticket to six flags this past saturday. I almost didn't go. I was scared to death I would not be able to fit on a couple rides. But I faced my fears and I fit everything I rode ! A couple were a lil snug but no biggie, that was a HUGE confidence boost!!

You know I think the confidence boost was the best part. I didn't have to do the "Check to see if you fit" thing before you go into the line or get to the top and do the "walk of shame" because I didn't fit. That truly was the best part. I hadn't been on a ride in 6 years because of my weight!

I went on one of those at a local fair that pins you up against the wall(centrifigal(spelling?)force). One month after surgary, it did not feel good. Lots of pressure on stomach.

I used to love thrill rides. Sadly, I haven't been on one in about 10 years at least. I took, as Boo puts it "The walk of Shame", and I was way too embarrassed by that to even ever try again. As I walked away, I heard some girl say out loud "How embarrassing..." Yeah, and you just made it that much worse, helloooo...

Anyway, I'm just wondering at which size were all of you when you first noticed that you were able to fit on the rides again. I'm curious because I would just love to get on one again, but I don't want to risk any undue embarrassement again.

Thanks!

The one that i was on didn't matter what size you were because nothing held you in but the force of the ride. I know exactly what you are talking about though. At Disney 5 years and a few pounds ago, I threatened to come back and find the person at the beginning of the line if I didn't fit on the ride after he said that i would. I rode most everything there. A few tight squeezes but no Walks of shame
Thank goodness. Now six flags was a different story, tried one roller coaster and walked right out the other side of it because no way was i gonna get into that seat. Didn't hang around long enough to see who all noticed. How long since you have been banded? Only a little over a month for me.
