But, how long before any of you ladies were back in "the bedroom" taking it slowly. I've told my boyfriend that I thought like 6 weeks or so. I forgot to ask but I was hoping sooner since its such great exercise an all! LOL

Whats the norm?

My Doctor told me 6 weeks. However he never mentioned it to my husband. hmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Our Dr. said two weeks, but you might want to check with your doctor.

My post-op going home instructions say whenever you feel up to it, just take it easy.

Personally I've gotta wait for my Depo shot: I'm not taking any chances on little surprises.

My surgeon told me that women become much, much more fertile after the band. Something to do with the fat dissolving and hormone levels. Probably a good idea to wait for your shot:o

my post op instructions said to wait for 2 weeks, Buuuuuut, I was never one to follow most instructions, thus the weight gain. But anyway, I was banded 8/29/07 and my DH and I took it REAAAAAL slow and managed 5 days later. But everyone is different. Good Luck on your journey.

What is a dh?

Ok I just had me a little yesterday and it's been almost two weeks.

DH is lapband lingo for "dear husband", or "dear hubby" whichever you prefer. Good Luck on your journey. I am 1 week post op and doing great. Nobody would have thought that I had surgery one week ago. But attribute it to all the TLC and preperation that I got off of this site. Mahalo everyone..

Yeah, my Dr. wasn't specific either. He said when I felt up to it. The day after surgery I went out shopping, and over did it. (I walked 2 - 3 miles) My husband seems to like me after surgery lol, (probably because I can't be bossy:p) we only waited 3 days. But believe me, GENTLE is the word of the day.

I wasn't given any instructions on this and we waiting oh... about 4 days. We were just very careful!

My post op instructions said as soon as I felt up to it... just not in the hospital lol

As the RN was going down her very long pre-op check list with me yesterday morning in preparation for 8:30 surgery, she asked, "and please tell me what it is that we're going to do for you today". To which I said, "Penis extension, but if you've got a some spare time while we're in there, could you put on a lap-band?"

You had to be there :-)
