I was two week post op but pretty much whenever u are comfortable. I was nervous but he was on top and there was no pain at all actually (tmi?) because of the few lbs I dropped it was way more comfy!!

Good info, did not think of this before, was there a time frame like in a csection or child birth?

Dr said 2 weeks for me. He also warned me about having some sort of birth control bc you will be more fertile after losing weight and it's best to wait at least a year. I was banded in April 4,2012 and so far I've lost 55 lbs and as the previous post says its more comfy!!

I think we did after about 10 days, he was ready, but I wasn't interested. :)

I was banded on Aug 1, and I noticed this past Sunday that my port area was hurting during, I just put my hand on the area to help. LOL.

We waited less than a week just be careful if something doesn't feel right then stop, listen to your body. My surgen didn't set a time it was when you felt ready. Good luck!

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
