There's roller coasters...and then there's ROLLER COASTERS! Right? :-)
If it's simply riding a little one at a local amusement park that doesn't jerk you around a lot then you'd probably be fine. But if you're talking a high-speed, yank-you-around, whipping you upside-down with your body crashing into the person next to you kinda of roller coaster? Then absoutely not - wait until you are further out and healed up better. No sense borrowing trouble...

Ummm, no.
Since my surgeon suggested that I wait at least six weeks for strenuous exercise, I wouldn't risk developing a hernia for a ride on a rollercoaster. Like food, rollercoasters will always be around.
