As for the original post .......

I think I agree with whoever said it has improved my situation ......... no anatomy details from me :)

My port is centered about 1 1/2 " below my sternum and has not been in a bad spot for anything including sex.

@ hummingbird

Always my pleasure to give someone joy. I'm glad I could cause you to smile.

I lost my smile a long time ago. It feels so good to be getting it back. My smile and my walk.

Smiling is contagious now I'm smiling. Thank you.

This forum is a wonderful place to go for advise, I did not mean to come across rude by any means. I just found it amusing about the oral part, and could only imagine either an ungodly huge tongue or something else that I know most people would not be able to withstand. Really, wish the best of luck and did not mean to offend you in any way. It just completely hit my funny bone!

Jonna,

It's cool. I really think the reason you find a larger size distasteful is a cultural physiology issue. I will repeat it. I don't find it a hardship in the least. God made my body to accommodate the black man. Yours he made to accommodate your man.

Why do you believe black women have so much behind, lips and bosom. You guessed it, to accommodate the black man's body.

Let's try celebrating the differences instead of fearing them.

Actually scientifically there is no relation to size and race although one study did find that white and black avg the same while it was the middle eastern man who took the lead in avg erect size. The vagina is actually able to contract and relax its muscles to accomidate the size of the male she is with at that time. But as far as race and size it is all myth. As a nurse with 15 yrs i have seen hundreds if not thousands and i can say on average there is no significant difference that i have seen. Human sexuality.... Funnest class from college!

..........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!!!!

My port bothers me sometimes when I am having sex. Oral... seems the same.

I thought this post was interesting until the members started getting sensitive and the topic starter getting defensive. The mentioning of God, black vs. white penis size, etc. was ludicrous. Honestly do not believe that anyone said anything that was considered harsh or to belittle. I have read some harsh comments and this was no where near close to that. The 2nd question was extremely vague........upon reading I said "What the hell?" I would have never guessed gag reflex from the way it was worded. Just like some of you said that if you are not interested or want to be harsh to move on........ok that's fine but what is the point of going tit for tat (back and forward for those who don't know) negatively with members, just read the post that you find informative. One more thing in my opinion anything related to lapband (port placement, sex with lapband etc) should be asked to your surgeon (the expert). You should feel comfortable asking him anything, hell you feel comfortable enough to let this person give you incisions, use instruments in side your body, place a foreign object all while you have a machine breathing for you.

And lets face it a gag reflex is a gag reflex. You don't need a band to have one of those.

I also don't think that was the way the question was worded. It was worded as though the actual band was going to get in the way.

I understand.

I suppose in my discretion I was purposely non detailed. It's very interesting how different people interpret the same information. Fascinating really.

You might want to look around the site, I believe there is another very long thread dedicated to the very same issue.

Ok peeps,

I started this to ask a very sensitive question. Let me say this again:

I WAS PURPOSELY VAGUE CZ MINORS HAVE ACCESS TO THIS SITE.

DUH.

In hoping, that you are all 21 and over. I made myself a bit more clear.

It Is interesting how most interpreted what I said. It says more about them than it does me.

Somebody has to protect the babies with lapbands.

I have to apologize for misunderstanding your post. Gag reflex didn't cross my mind.....but anyhooo it might sound crazy but my gag reflex has never been super sensitive but it was there....and since surgery I've notice no sensitivity....soooo :-). As for swallowing.....not my cup of tea!

My port is right under my sternum and I can feel some pressure on it during intimacy. Any time I am in a position to be scrunched up, it feels weird. I don't think there is any particular place that would not cause discomfort during intimacy since it has to be so close to the outside of the skin.

      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!
