This is a little risky and personal

How soon can you have sex after having the band put on ? Well I guess it is different for everyone but I was just curious, I know this is a little out there , i'm really not a freak, it's a part of life, but I was just wondering !

Just as soon as you feel up to it... if that means 2 days after surgery... you go girl

At least those are my surgeons directions....... other Dr's may differ.

you are not a freak.....don't worry. i wondered the same thing. the best answer i can give you is whenever you are comfortable enough to have sex. be careful. go slow. stop if it hurts. that's what worked for me!

What's sex?

Thanks Wheetsin.....for asking what I was afraid to. :laugh:laugh:laugh

The surgeon advised 2 weeks in my case.

[msheavensent 1]

Ok I cannot explain what sex is, you guys are going to have to pick up the phone and call your parents, siblings, or bestfriends so they can tell u about the birds and the bee's ! I'm sorry I just can't explain that and I wanna believe yall are joking, but if not i'm sorry !

My surgeon's directions were the same as Alexra's. If I remember correctly, we waited for 3-4 days. Just make sure you hold the palm of your hand over your port site while in the missionary position. You'll understand why if you don't. :biggrin1:

Well my hubby isn't getting anything till my pain is gone. He will just have to deal, lol.

I've been married over 8 years, if I don't know what sex is yet, then DH is a much more patient man than I give him credit for!

um this might sound bad, but what happens? And how large is your incision? I am curious...Thanks!

[Morsaille 4]

The port incision (at least mine) is about 2.5" long. It is the one that hurts. I barely noticed the others. It twinges if you shift or bend. A twinge isn't nearly as fun as it sounds.

Putting pressure on it is a great help. We used a pillow between in missionary, I was OK on my knees or side after 7 days. Back to FULL activity a month later. winks

My dr didn't give specific directions, other than "when you're comfortable". I think we waited about a week. I'm a little over 2 months out now and still feel a bit of discomfort -- not pain -- in the missionary position. Port just feels weird and I have to press on it.

Seems like someone got to the question before me. That was one of the first questions I was asked, how long we needed to wait?:think I guess they figured better get it while I can.:help:
