downysoft 51 Posted June 23, 2013 I was told 7 days but I laughed at that. I said heck I've been married 18 years with three kids. We are lucky if we have enough strength for once a month Christy 4 manda81305, HotButterFly, Countryheart2000 and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blondechcky 57 Posted July 16, 2013 I think we waited about 4 days. Once I was feeling up to it but we were still pretty gentle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
isit5yet 37 Posted July 26, 2013 We waited 2 weeks I think, but doubled up and used a condom on top of my BCP. The surgery screwed my PCOS body so much that I had my period when I wasn't supposed to and then for 2 weeks post-op! We got scared that the freak period could have gotten me off cycle, and we have a kiddo already. One and done! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Luka Beth 78 Posted July 28, 2013 I took bcp up until the week before surgery when i had my period...no bcp for two months post surgery due to clotting factor per my surgeon. alot of surgeons forget to mention it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steffyp 63 Posted August 2, 2013 I think we waited a week and a 1/2. I have surgical glue not staples so i didn't have to worry about that. Now it's fine, I have no pain at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Carol.mcpherson 25 Posted August 2, 2013 I was just telling someone the other day that I've spent 4 of the past 5 years NOT seeing my husband due to deployments/training' date=' etc...so I'm used to this...one of our favorite Army wife mottos "sexually deprived for your freedom..." He has not and will not see any progress pics until I see him at his mid-tour leave. It will have been 9 months since he left and 7 months since I was banded. I'm really working toward a total of 75 pounds lost. Ambitious, but I'm motivated. [/quote'] Prayers for you and your hubby!! My hubby retired two years ago from the army and it's been wonderful! Thank you both for the sacrifices you have made and those you will make! Great job going on this journey with him gone! Good luck reaching your goal! 1 ADJL reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ChicagoRose 650 Posted September 2, 2013 4 days and it was fine. ( I don't need bc because my hubs is snipped). I was on my back and don't think that was the best way because I could feel my port so I panicked that I had ripped a stitch or something LOL...but six months later it's better than ever!!

merryKerry 44 Posted September 2, 2013 Was there any pain when you did it that soon after? I want to but I'm nervous that it'll hurt or what position would be most comfortable?

I think woman on top is most comfortable so as not to put too much pressure on your tummy plus you can control the pace that way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
healthydnp 96 Posted September 9, 2013 I'm glad that this topic came up because I was a little nervous after surgery. I had to wait 2 weeks because I had my tubes tied and my uterus ablated the same time I was banded. I was worried about being on my back because of our stomachs rubbing. I am most comfortable with him behind me. I am hoping as I lose weight my sex drive gets better. Has anyone noticed a difference with weight loss? I wish there was a viagra for women. 1 KAATNS reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We did it from behind 4 days after surgery and its deffintely easier that way. I can't say mine has increased cuz its always been high, but him seeing my transformation has increased his to almost match mine now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
