Sex & the Band....



Recommended Posts

Ok guys lets talk. I've been searching through old post and cant find one subject on this. I've been with my BF for 4 yrs and we like to keep it interesting, new "moves" and stuff. ( if this is TMI turn away now) I am pretty flexable for being a PHAT girl. My question is...is anything off limits? Will I feel a poke from the port, will he feel the port (not that I think he would care) but serioulsy can I damage the band or the port, by having a wildly "good time"? Oh and how long before you were "back in the game" after being banded?

You can play as soon as you don't hurt any more, so basically, you can play as soon as you want to.

And considering where the band is physically, uhm, if he's capable of doing anything that could disturb it... uhm, sell tickets? Of course, I believe he would pass out from lack of blood flow, you know given the hydrolics of the mechanics...

LOL!!!

Vines is so funny, lol. Anyhow, I don't think you'll hurt anything. I was told to wait 2 weeks before "moderate exersize" so I told my boyfriend of three years he had to wait that long before we tried having sex, and if anything started to hurt, we'd have to stop. We went slow, and everything was fine.

I'd probably wait 6 weeks before doing anything TOO crazy. He might feel the port if he puts his hand over the area, I can feel mine. I'm a year out and if I bend funny or stretch or something that I haven't done since surgery it can surprise the muscles a little bit and be a little sore, but nothing that warrants a call to the doc or anything that.

Five and a half months out and I haven't run into anything off limits :)

We were back at it (albiet, taking it a bit slow), in a little over a week. Doctor said whenever I felt up to it would be fine.

Enjoy :)

Joy,

Just remember in case your doctor didn't tell you that after Band surgery your chances of getting pregnent increase so if you don't want that to happen be extra careful!!! I didn't have to worry since I'm too old to have to worry! LOL

Not to be too graphic, but I just found out I need a port revision. My port flipped...and I think it was a wild night that may have flipped it!! Maybe not, but that's the only time I have been aware of "feeling" my port since I had the surgery. So if something feels uncomfortable, stop and try something different!!

      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.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
