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

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. [/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!

Awe...thanks. We just passed our 6 month mark so we are now counting the days down instead of up! Woohoo!

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!!

We found, on side like sissor's with a pillow to support belly - post area....but its what you find comfortable for you guys. :-)

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'm glad you said that because I am the same way. I've aways been sex crazed more than my husband and thought I was a freak!!
