How long after being banded did ya'll do the deed? If you don't mind me asking?

It's been 3wks for me. I have not yet, I think I'm to scared .LOL

Was told as soon as I felt up to it. No restrictions. Think I waited 3 weeks???

12 days after the band.. felt to bad before that

Just got off the phone with the nurse and he said i was cleared but no birth control. 15 days post-op today! What the heck no birth control? Do you know if that's true?

My doctor wants me off bc for a month b4 surgery because it causes risk of blood clots. That is prob the reason thy want u off for 2 weeks post op. still trying to figure out what I'm Gona do....don't think abstaining is Gona be an option w my hubby.....there is just so much support a spouse can give on this journey!! Lol

I only waited 4 days!! Granted we were gentle.

It will be nearly 7 months. Of course my hubby is deployed so its not like I have another option.

You are too funny! So sorry to go off topic but how you holding up without the hubby? I take it he hasn't seen your progress right?

I was just telling someone the other day that I've spent 4 of the past 5 years NOT seeing my husband due to deployments/training, etc...so I'm used to this...one of our favorite Army wife mottos "sexually deprived for your freedom..."

He has not and will not see any progress pics until I see him at his mid-tour leave. It will have been 9 months since he left and 7 months since I was banded. I'm really working toward a total of 75 pounds lost. Ambitious, but I'm motivated.

Three weeks, heck w/ those staples in, I wouldn't even let him see me change. After the staples were out I felt better but still held off. Now it is back to normal. It should be what you are comfortable with, go with the flow.

4 days post op. No issues. Have IUD so didn't worry about birth control.
