sex, a serious question

[lizrbit 0]

Im trying to say this in the most delicate way possible..

How soon until you can have it?

[Kat817 19]

I was not ever told I couldn't have it!! I would say as soon as you physically feel like it you would be fine. Just find a position that doesn't put pressure on your incisions, and if it hurts...quit.

Surely you realize we ALL wondered this!!!!

Yep Liz: Same as Kat... didn't ask when. When your stitches are off.

Still, certain positions are extremely uncomfortable...( Hey just be creative , wink wink

LOL! You haven't been on this board long if you think you need to be delicate! As soon as you feel up to it; for most people that seems to center around 1-2 weeks, but for some it's sooner.

hehehe...thannnnnnks my people...

I feel better about asking. I was wondering if having an um..special intense moment...would hurt the band/stiches/etc...

[kebsa 1]

I think it would have to be pretty "intense" to do damage

[gadgetlady 4]

I've had plenty of "intense moments" since being banded, even early on, and never had any problems

First off, it's funny that you posted this under exercise....LOL. I was told as long I it didn't hurt and I wasn't lifting or pulling my abs, I could proceed. If it hurt stop and reposition. Just make sure you are using protection, weightloss makes women very fertile. By the way, sex is a great way to burn calories. ~Mandy

I'm so glad this question was asked! My husband is in prison, but will be released this summer. We were talking about this very thing yesterday. He's afraid he's going to hurt me, or bust something open. Now I can tell him for sure that he's not going to bust anything. LOL! MEN!

At least until you reach the parking lot of the hospital ....

There was a hilarious thread some time back on this same topic.

hahahahahahahHAHAHAHHAHAHAH!

OYE!

Some do pilates, some do yoga....same thing sorta kinda....

I think I was between week 1 and 2. Too sore before then. But we had to use positions that kept him from contacting my abdomen (woof!). To date there are some positions that are just too sore because it puts uncomfortable pressure on the port or makes be bend in a way that just fells "band bad"... can't really describe it.

But that's ok.

For every "fat" position I had to give up, I've gained 6 or 7 "still fat but not as much" ones to replace it. :confused:

Just make sure that during that special intense moment you are not pushing up really hard against the headboard with your hand.

Not that I know or anything, I just bet it would really hurt your port incision. Especially 5 days after surgery.
