Okay. I asked a question to see what other surgeons had to say. I am going away soon, by then will be 9/10 weeks post op. I already asked my surgeon, he says it's fineto go on rollercoaster rides. After 6 to 8 weeks thebone is healed. So really, why is it that surgeons on here say I can't and should be careful. If I can't by 6 to 8 weeks when the bones have healed.
