One Major Question...

SoCalCass · August 25, 2008

I hope that I am not offending anyone when asking this, and it is not my intention to do so, but what about intercourse after your surgery. I know that all of the information I have read up on just says not to have intercourse until two weeks after your surgery. But has anyone found pain with the band while having intercourse? I woke up in a panic this morning!:confused2: LOL! I had a horrible dream about this and would appreciate some serious responses as it is beginning to worry me! :rolleyes: :tt2::cursing::party::cursing::eek:

My doc told me to hold off for one full week, and then I was free to do whatever I could tolerate comfortwise. I did read from one gal that everything was fine but that she thought it was funny that she could feel her port when it was, shall we say, rubbed? She said it didn't hurt, it was just funny that she noticed it. She said her hubby couldn't feel it.

Well, I would first ask your Doc. You'll get your most accurate response from that.

On a personal note, my doc said "when you feel like it." Granted, I was drugged up the first week and felt like doing nothing but sleeping and watching a few movies. Hubby got his attention later -- and with no complications. As you loose weight, things just get better and better.

My port is in my chest area - so "discomfort" for me may be different than you. I was able to have sex within a week. We just had to take it easy. I ended up having a flipped port (though not from the sex) - so it was uncomfortable at times (if we didn't go slow). Once the port was corrected - no problem whatsoever. Listen to your body and call your doctor to find out his/her opinion. They get all kinds of questions, believe me :-)

Wow everyone was lukcy my Dr. told me six weeks. He said I could do it after 4 if I wanted but said six weeks would be great. It does hurt your ab muscles that is for sure. I wouldn't take any changes of ruining anything so hold off as long as possible. But as your Dr. as well.
