This is a serious question, but obviously...its humorous, lol . But please, serious answers ONLY please. No reprimands. Probably for women... but any inputs are great!

I was banded in October 2011- Down about 50 lbs, feeling great. Starting to heal up nicely, getting my sex drive back (woo!)( which almost completely fizzled out due to insecurity). My hubby and I (of 9 years) are very open minded and active, and this could be an issue (which I will work around)... one i didnt think about before..and Honestly, id rather ask HERE on this forum, rather than face my male doctor and have him look at me strangely.... My hubby and mines sex life is important, and im just covering my bases.

Just not comfortable with it. But I will approach it sooner or later.

so, question being... After the band, I was told no drinking thick, sticky substances. No chugging, guzzling, or anything larger than sips. So you may or may NOT know where Im going with this... If you dont, then this isnt the thread for you.

Is it SAFE, and non harmful to the lap band, to preform oral, and digest bodily fluids---??? I don't want to risk band slippage or something.... has ANYONE asked this, wondered this?? Anything??

Lol <3 this post. I laughed so hard I thought I might have busted a stitch. I especially liked putting it down in the food diary.

its protein

LOL!!! Thats what he keeps telling me. Protien..or Vitamin-P lmao.

Please God, don't let my husband see this thread!

Lmfao! Bunz....let me know how that goes..hehe

So I am still going to ask my doctor.. lol.. This thursday is my fill. I'll let you all know ( for just general reasons) what he said. So for havent had an issue with it...Guess a lot of ladies dont think about this issue?

I'm at work and just read this thread...my co-workers (Who can only hear not see me) must think I have lost my mind and went off the deep I can not stop giggling..I just love this forum..I get banded next Tuesday Jan 17th and I'm finding some very interesting and worthwhile information on this site! my jaws are hurting from trying to suppress a loud giggle.. truth be told I would be very uncomfortable asking my male doctor that question..lol

I <3 this post, lol. I'm glad people were able to answer it and I'm glad someone else asked! Haha, my husband seen this and has been talking about it all day! You all rock!

TMI, but I've had multiple occasions to swallow since banding and no problems. But lmao when I read this. Looking back, I could have used this as an excuse for a little while. Wish I had thought of that... great post

I could have used this as an excuse for a little while

I would have said that once banded it was a definite no no.

Although the fact you have said you could have used this an excuse makes it sound as though it is something you don't really want to do as though it is something you do because you feel you have to. Personally I don't think people should ever do things that make them feel uncomfortable.

Maybe things are different these days ( I am getting old)or maybe it's just a difference in countries/cultures but when I was younger this was not something that people were expected to do. Oral sex fine - swallowing no.

I even find it amazing that in US magazines they have adverts that promote some product that takes away the taste. Don't know if the product is available here but if it is it certainly isn't advertised in the mainstream press.

Actually most men only produce about 10mls of it on average. You're fine.

Trust me.
