How Long

[addunaway 24]

Hey guys I'm on my 4 week since I was band and I feel good but only thing is I still feel weak and when I sit up like driving my port area gets really sore. I'm just wondering how long does the port area stop from being sore. I'm still affride to sleep on that side or my stomach. How long do we have to wait before we can again.

This is TMI but how long do have to wait before we can have sexual intercourse again to? I don't want my port to flip or anything like that.

Thanks

I think healing time for everyone is a bit different. I had the twitches and pinches when I tried to move for a bit on my port area.

As far as sex I was told when you felt better... I also talked to my surgeon and was worried if sex woud damage, displace, break the port/disconnect etc... He said that it is fine and not to worry about damage to the band/port with sex.

As he giggled he said KNOCK yourself out..

I am only 11 days out and I have twinges in my port area, but I have been gradually catching a few "zzzzzzz's" while sleeping on my side. I am not a back sleeper so I had to figure something out.

As far as sex goes, my doc says 2 weeks.

I'm a right sided sleeper, and my surgeon only puts them on the right side, so I've slept on mine since day 1. Mine is on the right side about an inch below my ribs. I would wake up sore for the first week or so. I'm 5 1/2 weeks out, and am doing full abdominal exercises with no pain. My port does stick out though...once I get closer to goal I might check into a port revision (I've heard they have a lower profile one?) because I'm still about 50 lbs from goal and I can see the port now. I'm the only one that notices it though

Mine is on the right and I'm a side sleeper. Ive been using a pillow to support my abdomen on that side when I sleep.

As far as sex goes, they told me when I was comfortable. Apparently that was two days ago. Nothing crazy
