I'm getting banded in September, and these questions keep popping in my head.

I totally understand if no one replies to this question:

Is the band or port uncomfortable (or noticable) in any way to either partner during sex?

Don't know who else too ask but you experts (in being banded, I mean!! :confused:).

Nope. I have never felt it during sex, and my DH has never complained that he could feel it either. But then, we are pretty occupied at the time, and it's not really something I think about (the port that is, lol)

I know I was conscious of it for the first few months after surgery, but it never got in the way and it never bothered my husband.

You can easily feel my port but it does not hurt or interfere with sex.

Is the band or port uncomfortable (or noticable) in any way to either partner during sex?

"No" also.

I am so glad you asked this question because I was worried about this very same thing. My surgeon gives the choice of port placement...either between the breasts just above the bra line, or directly over the left rib cage just below the bra line. I don't mean to offer TMI, but my DH is a boob man and because of this I think I am going with the "directly over the left rib cage just below the bra line" area...what do ya'll think?

Wowzers! Even with a low profile port, I cannot imagine having my port placed on my ribs!

Maybe the Aussies place their ports differently to the docs in the US, but my port is between my belly button and ribs.

That where mine is too Chickie.

The only time I have had port trouble was maybe the first week or so after when I tensed up during the big O (yeah I have just been waiting to say that all day lol). That was a bit painful. As for the sex part, nope nothing during sex. And with this weight loss I have been getting a lot of practice lately.

The only problem we had was my husband being worried he'd hurt me! He got over it.

I've never heard of a surgeon placing the port on the rib cage, most put it on the left or right side between the waist and lowest rib or right below the sternum.

The only pain or discomfort was from too many orgasms. I told my doctor about it, yes, it hurt that bad. He said it was from the muscles and that the port should be fine. Relax...have fun!
