Sorry, one more question on "relations" with the lapband...



Recommended Posts

Ha-ha. Does having the lapband (specifically the port part) hinder the "relations" part in your life. As in, can you (or your partner) see it or feel it during that time? For some reasom I have this vision of someone that has a colostomy bag (minus the bag part). Am I hopefully wrong in my assumption obvious this port thing is or isn't?

Thanks again for any help!

I was banded on 10/25 and can happily report that it does not hinder your love life. The port is located directly under the skin so you will feel what appears to be a small lump. The only slight discomfort I can possibly say is around the incision (scar) aeas, once they heal you should have no discomfort.

There are no hanging tubes or frankenstein like devices, only the small bump. Believe me it will not affect your love life at all.

Good luck...........

Happy to report no problem here AT ALL. If anything it has "enhanced" that part of my life--simply because I feel so much better about myself.

Good luck;)

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
