Roller Coasters after Bariatric Surgery?



Yesterday I saw Stephanie, a patient of mine, in the office one week after a laparoscopic gastric bypass operation. I was surprised when she asked if she could ride the roller coasters at Cedar Point amusement park just 11 days after her operation. She said she loved roller coasters and especially enjoyed the rides that make her hang upside down!

I said I was delighted she was doing so well she wanted to ride the rides at an amusement park a week or so after her operation. However, even if it does not injure you, hanging upside down is for bats not humans!
