Sex after banding



Recommended Posts

Ok.....exactly 2 weeks till surgery....and I can't sleep tonight. The more I keep thinking, the more questions I'm coming up with.

How long after surgery do I have to wait before I can have sex? :)

Hey....I'm a woman in her prime!!!!! LOL :)

All the information that my doctor gave said when you feel up to it. I think that we waited about 10 days or 2 weeks, and then tried to not put much pressure on my tummy...I think you should just see how you feel...I don't think horny made my top ten but you know...needy husband who just gave me $10,000 kind of made me feel a little guilty like I should give it up! hahah

My hubby and I had sex somewhere around a week and a half out and it was fine. I would recomend placing your hand over your port if it is uncomfortable. I know my port bothered me for several weeks after surgery but placing a little light pressure on it helped tremendously.

Me and my DH had sex about a week and a half after I was banded. No problems here. Just good times,lol.

My doc said "nothing vigerous" for 2 weeks. I took that to include sex, and waiting that long. We took things slow, but everything was fine at that point.

Well DH didn't see me until 8 days after my surgery.....needless to say, we waited 8 days. I wasn't too worried....I knew it wouldn't be vigorous, just quick...lol.

      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.
