:biggrin: OK so the doctor said wait three weeks for sex- I did exactly that 3 weeks and 1 day actually. Today I feel so horrible- my stomach hurts really bad around the port sight and I think I may have overused my muscles??? Has anyone else experienced this?

My doctor said 4-6 weeks. I waited a full 8 weeks and still had a little port pain. Every doctor is different, hope you feel better!!

Wow, I didn't have any restrictions. I lasted 4 days without. Although, I found different positions to be more comfortable at the port site than others. Good luck!

I guess everyone heals at a different rate. I was to have sex about 10 days post op with no problems. Maybe try some more comfortable positions?

Damn all you rabbits!! 4, 10 days post op?? I was still miserable at that point. :thumbup: However, I am 10 weeks post op now and my port still is uncomfortable during sex. I've tried all positions and it doesn't help. It's not horrible, but definitely a distracting ache. So I have to focus on NOT showing the hubby it is bothering me. I'm sure it will get better. I try not to contract abdomen as much. Although I've only lost a little under 30lbs....it is noticeable in bed. Don't mean to give TMI...but I'm loving it:blush:

Yes I had the same thing happen, but I was hurting so bad I ended up at the hospital. Once I got to the er they did a x-ray and said everything was ok just take it easy. I wanted another 3 weeks and it has been smooth sailing from there. Take it slow and easy for a while and it will all work out.

I haven't been willing to try sex just yet. DH is getting anxious. But one of my incisions isn't closing up as it should (not my port incision) and I am having to pack it daily and it is a bit tender. I haven't even asked my doctor about this, in spite of my husband urging me to so ASAP LOL.

This is something I forgot to ask my doctor about, so decided to base it on how I felt. I was ready in 2 weeks, but my hubby was so apprehensive, and for another two weeks he kept telling me he was afraid he'd hurt me. I finally had to tell him that I was going to hurt HIM if he didn't give me a little. :blush: It was toooo long to wait for me.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
