The band has totally set my sex drive on fire... it was hot already, but man, feeling better about myself has done wonders! That said, I had a 2 week period after banding I wasn't to have sex (i waited one week)>

My surgeon only asked that we wait to get out of the hospital room before getting busy. I had no pain or discomfort at all! I guess the only thing different is that my husband had a great view of my steristrips. On a side note, losing weight and exercising does WONDERS for flexibility :biggrin:)

:biggrin: What they said.. plus there's a power room gone wild section of these forums that we do a lot of discussing of this exact thing.

Gosh, I think we waited a day or two :smile:) We're in our 20s afterall :() Then again, I never felt pain or discomfort after surgery, just a new pressure when I coughed, but that went away quickly.

Hey Brad~I used to live in Bronson! Went to high school there!!!

Not banded yet, so can't speak to the topic!:smile:

Hi Shelby - small world eh? I was going to say that I hope you're someplace warmer now... then I looked as saw you're still in MI so you're suffering with the rest of us... :(

My doctor only said wait until you feel up to it, just be gentle. I think we waited about a week or so.

Gentle? Not a chance..... :wink:

WE waited a week. I've been telling him 6 weeks and he was kind of okay with that and said he'd torture me until our cruise in March. I didn't think I could handle that and apparently, I can't even handle a week! Haha

We were gentle. He's freaked out about hurting me!

oh it's been great lol. since the weight loss, i've been in some of the craziest positions and kama sutra, and even switched positions with him still inside of me, that was crazy. i was like.. WHOA, where you taking that leg, sir? lol. things get a lot easier and you're even able to move your arms/hands/fingers into places you wouldn't have been able to before, during these times. :thumbup:

      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.
