I know this is a personal question, but I don't feel comfortable asking my doctor. How long after surgery should you wait to resume normal sexual relations? Is there anything to consider - do you need to be careful, etc? What about the oral sex - is that still okay even though the throat may be a little tender from PBing? Any input would be great - Thanks!

Hello, I am being banded in 10 days and am just wondering - is there anyone here who regrets getting the band? I went to the store tonight and got all of the junk food that I love (chips, ice cream, OJ, etc) and tried to envision a life without it. How difficult is it to live like this? Are there any things that you absolutely cannot eat? How long is it before you can eat most things in moderation i.e. ice cream? Thanks for all of your answers!
