Is Riding On A Rollercoaster Safe After Recovering From A Heart Surgery?

Hello,
I am a 42 year old male who just had a bypass surgery. I caught it right on time and never experienced a heart attack. 5 arteries were blocked and by-passed.

Now to my (perhaps) unusual question: Once I am "fully" healed (not sure when that will be, maybe 3 months to a year), am I ever going to be able to ride roller coasters? I have 3 kids and they all love these types of things.

Thanking you in advance,

Regards,

Doron
