I had my gallbladder removed lap about 7 years ago and I would have easily
been ready for the rides 1 month later. I went home within 3 hours of the
surgery and was at the mall the next day. I was still sore, but not bad.
I only missed 5 days of work.
However, everybody is different. If you have had any other surgeries, how
did your recovery go with them? (I was out shopping within 3 days of
c-sections).
Good Luck.

Heather,
I had my gall bladder taken out almost 1 month ago, I'm still just a little
tender, I also had it done lap, each person is different, I would have
rather done the open WLS again, then do the gall bladder removal lap......
more pain for me... The doctor told me I had allot of scar tissue from the
open WLS so it was more tender in the tummy belly button region. I
personally would hold off from doing the roller coasters, I recently made a
trip to California and was tempted to go to either Six Flaggs, or
Knotts.... How-ever my husband reminded me, and said I should wait, I'm
just now diving back into exercise 1 month post gall bladder. I would take
it slow to make sure you don't pull anything, (By being jerked in the seat
of a roller coaster) just take it easy. I think I'd wait a good 2 months
before I would go to a park and ride the roller coasters, ( No use going if
you can't ride all of the rides)
best of luck, hope things are different for you.
