We waited 4 days post op. We were careful and gentle. Now at 2 weeks post op...totally normal. Just go slow till you know how you feel

I was told 7 days but I laughed at that. I said heck I've been married 18 years with three kids. We are lucky if we have enough strength for once a month

I think we waited about 4 days. Once I was feeling up to it but we were still pretty gentle.

We waited 2 weeks I think, but doubled up and used a condom on top of my BCP. The surgery screwed my PCOS body so much that I had my period when I wasn't supposed to and then for 2 weeks post-op! We got scared that the freak period could have gotten me off cycle, and we have a kiddo already. One and done!

I took bcp up until the week before surgery when i had my period...no bcp for two months post surgery due to clotting factor per my surgeon. alot of surgeons forget to mention it.

I think we waited a week and a 1/2. I have surgical glue not staples so i didn't have to worry about that. Now it's fine, I have no pain at all.

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' date=' 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. :D[/quote']

Prayers for you and your hubby!! My hubby retired two years ago from the army and it's been wonderful! Thank you both for the sacrifices you have made and those you will make! Great job going on this journey with him gone! Good luck reaching your goal!

Was there any pain when you did it that soon after? I want to but I'm nervous that it'll hurt or what position would be most comfortable?

4 days and it was fine. ( I don't need bc because my hubs is snipped). I was on my back and don't think that was the best way because I could feel my port so I panicked that I had ripped a stitch or something LOL...but six months later it's better than ever!!

No pain. I think woman on top is most comfortable so as not to put too much pressure on your tummy plus you can control the pace that way.

I'm glad that this topic came up because I was a little nervous after surgery. I had to wait 2 weeks because I had my tubes tied and my uterus ablated the same time I was banded. I was worried about being on my back because of our stomachs rubbing. I am most comfortable with him behind me. I am hoping as I lose weight my sex drive gets better. Has anyone noticed a difference with weight loss? I wish there was a viagra for women.

We did it from behind 4 days after surgery and its deffintely easier that way. I can't say mine has increased cuz its always been high, but him seeing my transformation has increased his to almost match mine now.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
