Sex And A Port?



Recommended Posts

So I'm getting banded at the end of December. I'm curious about something, if you are on the bottom during sex does it ever bother your port? My husband is a big guy. He is 6'4" and well built so I'm worried about the pressure on my port when he is on top. Is that a silly worry to have?

My husband is a big guy too. I am 4 weeks post-op & we have no problems with the port. My port was so sore that I can just now finally sleep on my side....but sex has not been a problem.

I posted something similar a few months ago about how long you have to wait before hooking back up and most people said the recovery was only a few days. I too think about this a lot but figure, yes, if it hurts that way then switch, and when we are thinner girl we'll be more confident too ;) Thanks for your honesty. We only have each other.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
