TALKING ABOUT SEX

[stratcat 10]

You are asking a good question -- port locations can vary. Mine is above my left boob and hides under my bra strap or bathing suit strap. I have heard of at least one other person (a man) from another doctor who had his port in the same location.

Generally, my doctor's opinion is that it is more convenient; It is sewn into the muscle and does not move alot, the PA/Doctor can use a smaller needle.(I never need him numb me before a fill).... My doctor uses this location with most of his patients.

In fact, I think I will start a thread asking others about their port locations -

And, please, if you don't like the answers earlier in this threat, just ignore them, most folks here really mean well. It was my experience that the same person who SLAMMED me on one thread, gave me great advise on another. Good luck - look for my thread .

Elcee,

Also,

Don't feel sorry for me. God himself made my body to accommodate my man. I don't feel sorry for you, not really.

Just curious....if G_d did such a good job making your body, why are you altering it?

The only thing confusing me in this thread is that we are all here for the same reason and that is a decision to better our lives in ALL aspects!! We all have this in common so why let it also tear us apart?? If you don't understand the questions, then ask questions..no need to be so harsh in the process. I come here to give advice and get it in return. If I don't like the topic then I don't respond..maybe some of you should do the same.

Funny, when you mentioned orally I was thinking of you receiving not giving................

I thought the same thing!

Cindy,

To answer your question God didn't make me fat I did. I repented and asked him to help me lose the weight. He did via lapband. If you want to argue with God go ahead but you are going to lose.

What does it say about me that I got it instantly? She means can you, ah, swallow?

In my opinion, its best to avoid it forever, just in case. I explained to my husband that it was very very dangerous to have oral sex once the band was placed. And anyway I've been married 20 years and I got a big diamond ring a few years back so i shouldnt have to anymore :lol:. And last I checked, lying on my back going through my shopping list and wondering whether I put the washing in the dryer didnt bother my band at all.

My poor DH. He'd say I'm always joking at his expense and he's right. Only I'm not completely joking, lol.

Ok peeps,

I was trying to keep this rated pg but you 'perves' are making It difficult.

For the record I am not taking about swallowing, necessarily, I'm talking about the gag reflex.

If I can swallow that snack pack diet pudding I can prolly swallow anything. Ugh its gross.

[thatchick_j 7]

Jachut,

You are way too funny. I should check my shopping list and ponder the laundry much more often. *smiling*

My ring 7 carats is my prize for losing the weight. I'm glad you have yours.

lol @ I shouldn't have to do it anymore. The thing is if we don't someone else will.

J,

I would think that if you trust your surgeon enough to do this you could ask the questions. However, I understand if you're uncomfortable. Maybe you could ask your gyn Dr?

[thatchick_j 7]

Thanks Jackie.

I was talking about my pcp.

Why do some of you on this forum insist on being critical of or making fun of other members? If you can't say something nice or helpful, just don't respond, okay? You are creating a negative environment.

In answer to the original quesitons posted: the band has not had a negative effect on my sex life. In fact, I would say it has a positive effect, because the more weight I lose, the more confident and sexy I feel.

[Soundman999 3]

WOW...Gag reflex....Hmmmmmmmmmmmm...let's meet!!! LOL

[thatchick_j 7]

Yea at feeling more confident.

It's funny @ healthy change. Just having the lapband has given me more confidence. I can't wait to see the difference a 50 pound loss will have.

I won't be able to stand myself...
