Sex after the LapBand



Recommended Posts

:embaressed_smile:Well I have a question and I can not make myself ask it face to face with my doc and hisstaff. So here goes..:)

Things can get a little rough sometimes in the bedroom and I wondered if there were things I should avoid so that it does not put my port in danger.:thumbup::embaressed_smile: Even witgh my weight having increased, I have remined pretty limber ( cough) well dh and I are both worried that things may not be as fun as they were before. Thanks.

well, we're all so different. dh and i waited for one week, most postitions were great...but a couple were not. just try it, and if you feel any discomfort, stop, and try something else. you really should ask your doc, just ask about sex in general, you don't have to get into details. :party:

Things if anything have become BETTER in the sack for me and my DH! :unsure:

Like posted above, there were certain positions and styles that we had to go without for a little due to discomfort, but I am 9 months post op and we are right back to where we were before! I can relate to the "Roughage" and it took us a little while (Maybe 2 months - heeling time) to get back to it!

The way I see it, If I have to okay to go to the gym and have a hard workout including but not limited to Crunches, weight training and yoga (for increased flexibility WOOOHOOO!) from the doc, then a good night or morning, or afternoon romp would be similar!

If you do talk to your doc let me know what s/he says, I'm curious too!:(

Well I am 6 months out and I can do anything to my body I did before...according to my DR...lol yes I asked. The port and band is super secure. Kick boxing is not going to damage the port...So If one can take a kick directly to the port any sex you have is not going to hurt it either...He told me you should not have any pain from sex due to the port.

No Problems here! I"m pretty feisty. I admit that for a few weeks after the surgery I wasn't quite as rambuctious, but all's well now. You might want to wait awhile on handstands or certain Karma Sutra positons :smile2:

      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.

      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.
