I know this is a personal question, but I don't feel comfortable asking my doctor. How long after surgery should you wait to resume normal sexual relations? Is there anything to consider - do you need to be careful, etc? What about the oral sex - is that still okay even though the throat may be a little tender from PBing? Any input would be great - Thanks!

The band are usually an un-washed bunch of longhaired hippes types who carry diseases and infections with them. I would not sleep with anyone who slept with the band for fearing of catching whatever you got from them.

Oh....wait....you mean lapband.

I didn't wait (i'm a guy), and I had no problems. The same of course goes for oral, but again a. I'm a guy, b. I never PB'd.

I think they are purely based on personal comfort. I don't think it's healthy to strain those stitches, but I'm sure if you are careful you will be fine.

How many days after getting banded did you wait? 3, 7, 1?

I had the surgery on the 6th, I think the first attempt to convince my wife to have sex was about an hour after I woke up. The catheter ruined that conversation. I think she finally gave in on the 7th.

There's a catheter involved - for both men and women? yikes!!! how much does it hurt? Do they put it in after you are asleep?

I don't know about the ladies, but when I was a asleep the sneaks put one in. However I was lucky enough to be wide awake when they removed it.

I did not have a catheter (or if I did it was in and out while I was knocked out) but I really don't think I had one. You can have sex as soon as you want, but I wouldn't be trying any crazy positions until you're healed enough. Of course, after you start losing weight, you will not be able to keep your man off of you!!!

I Didn't Have A Catheter, Thank God Lol But My Port Is Still Sore, Surgery 8-17, Maybe This Week I'll Feel Good Enough To Rock His Boat, Along With Mine

ok...I'm beginning to think that I may have gotten the short end of the stick here, was anyone here catheterized?

I didn't have a Cath either and My Surgeon told me I could resume sex after 2 weeks. Just my 2 cents worth!
