Are you sure you need to be banded? If I could make any of those moves' date=' I'd leave the band alone ;)

In any event, it shouldn't affect your insides, and that's where the band is. The port is another story it's right below the skin surface, so just be careful when it comes to the location of where your port is and you should be fine.

Rock on girl![/quote']

Lmao...I'm sure. I'll definitely be careful. Thanks!

Sorry... I made my partner wait 3 weeks after surgery. By then' date=' we were both ready. I don't ever hang from the chandelier or anything like that but it was very active. No port pain to report!![/quote']

Lol....hang from chandelier....I know what you mean. No port pain works for me. I'll wait probably that long too, just to be safe.

And going into detail..I have done every move man made under the stars...port's still intact <WINK>

Your port is well sutured (unless your doc specified otherwise). So' date=' just like working out, sex and the fun positions it puts us in will not impact the port.

I have gotten pregnant on the band. Beware, it makes you fertile (but maybe it was position 2,345 that did it)

And girl, sex is the first forum post we all opened up..are you kidding me LMAO[/quote']

Ha ha ha ha ha....girl every move is up to my alley. Lol! My workouts will probably be the many positions I long for. I'm happy I've gotten everyone inputs. Thanks!!

If your definition of kinky sex is edge play there are some general ground rules for the band:

1. No impact play on the port area as it's tender and can get damaged/flipped

2. If bondage is involved stay away from the port area as well. Also- bondage after eating- watch with ropes on the band area.

3. Inversions -to each his own- but on a full stomach with a band- No

4. Needles- not near the port area.

5. It may help to circle your port area in marker both laying down and standing.

6. Tens- not in the area of the port or band

7. Cupping - again not in the port or band area

Fire is okay on the skin above the port as is wax and wand.

These are just a few dos and don'ts off the top of my head.

This post made me lol :) Not sure when you were banded but I would say go for it!! I have had no problems but maybe you should check with your surgeon? There is a whole thread for pregnant banders so yes you can still get pregnant with the lap band. it's a big reason some women chose this WLS vs other options because you can still have babies! :)

Lol...happy you were lol, because I was when I post the topic. Ok, I understand. I haven't been banded yet, not until Feb 2014, but I'm preparing myself for when I do. Thanks, for the info. :)

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣
