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

How soon until you can have it?

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.

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!

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.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
