Does the port or band bother anyone during intimate times?

If so, IS THERE A BEst PLACE FOR THE PORT TO BE PLACED SO IT DOESN'T BOTHER YOU DURING INTIMACY?

Sorry about caps

Also, does the band get in the way orally?

Tough questions but someone has to ask. I'm not asking my doctor. I dont know him that well.

The mind boggles? Is this question for real?

What worries me is that if someone can ask questions like this it would seem that they know very little about the band. I would be doing a lot more research to make sure I understood what the band is and where it goes before having surgery.

To answer:

The band is inside your body around the top part of your stomach.You cannot feel it once it is there. I cannot by any stretch of the imagination figure out how someone could imagine it could get in the way orally. Even having toured the sex museum in Amsterdam and seen all the strange stuff there I don't know what kind of sex a person would be having for that to happen.

Your port you can feel through your skin if you are trying to. It feels like a hard lump. It doesn't interfere with sex at all.

Rest assured....the band and the port in no way have any relationship to intimacy. You most likely will forget its there... until you eat or drink.

LMBO!!! I think the one that gets me the most is if it will effect orally...........If you're with someone that it could, I would say you're not going to be around long enough to see if it will effect you!!!! WOW!

I was a little confused to that question too! Orally! Seriously? How does that happen if it's inside the body ? Strange question!

I'm glad I know where my Band will be!

LOL I thought I was the only one who had a huge question mark in their head about the oral thing after reading this post. After reading several posts by this poster, I agree that they need to educate themselves about the band more.

Like some of you have said she needs to educate herself and part of education is asking questions and that is why these forums exist. I don't think it is fair for you to laugh at or make fun of someone who is sincerely asking a question about stuff they don't know about. Just saying, if we knew everything we will not be here would we?

Ah, I forgot 6 is large for your men. My man is not on the teenie weenie committee.

I'M JUST SAYING.

@ Jonna WTH are you talking about? Really, I don't understand.

@ Jackie I'm not concerned about my doctor being bothered. I am concerned about my comfort in this matter.

@ elcee research is good. You may have wanted to do a bit of research before answering my question. Here is the thing, I'm not concerned about the physical placement of the band but of the reflexes which it may or may not cause.

@ red, bromo and Lynn, you are all way too întellectual for me.

@ Floridays. Thank you for being mature In this matter.

Well it would have to be about 16 just to get anywhere close to the band and really bendy and probably pretty narrow. Generally when you are doing that kind of stuff it's not bendy. But if what you are saying is that your partner has one like that then I feel truly sorry for you and yes I think your reflexes would be rejecting it.

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

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.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
