I seen a YouTube video awhile back where a LapBand patient (woman) who was in her maintenance stage complained of having issues with port pain anytime she tried to be intimate with her husband.

I was just curious if this has effected anyone else? If so, how you dealt with it.

You mean while they were having sex? First off, I'm not female, nor am I in maintenance stage, but I will admit that sometimes during orgasm I do have a bit of pain from tensing my abdominal walls where my port is sewn. As for later on, I would assume it would have a lot to do with the rigor of the coupling as well as the position(s) being used.

Please forgive the direct language in my post,

Thanks for being so frank Terry...that's just what we need!

I too wonder about how intimacy will be impated but I have reason to believe the pros will still GREATLY outweight the cons and if that means a little port tenderness I'll take it. There are so many things I was able to do when I wasn't obese that I am missing so much and there are some intimacy things on that list as well!

Good luck every body!

I've heard of women that have some port discomfort if their husband lays or pushes directly on it.

I think where your port is located, what position you're having sex in, and how aggressive the sex is can all make a difference.

I'm not in maintenance yet but I have lost 185 pounds and my port does stick out a little bit, but I've never had any pain or discomfort around my port during sex.

My husband can not lay on my port side. Its not painful but uncomfortable but in the throws of passion who cares until its over lmao. But seriously it is uncomfortable.
