ok, so.... anyone told how long to wait to resume sex? or any tips? i mean, well, you know what i mean...

certain position that didnt hurt your stomach? i have been thinkin, and for right now, missionary would be out...lol...please dont be offended! this might could be a kinda fun thread??!!??

I think we waited about 3 weeks. Once I was able to lay on my side and my stomach then I felt like I was ready to resume other activities :-D

I didn't wait at all!!! HAHA

I just tried and did what felt comfortable.

Great question, I was wondering that myself. I had my surgery 10-12-07. I think my husband might be to more scared to do "something" than I am.

Ok I have to laugh. I'm a little over a month out and DH was afraid to break me, LOL. We resumed "activities" recently and everything was fine. I did wait until I could sleep on my stomach though. I was given the medical "okay" at my 2 wk follow-up-it was included as "exercise" LOL.

I would definately say wait until the gassy stage passes.

I asked my surgeon prior to my surgery. He told me to wait maybe a few days, then I should be comfy enough to be "creative". And I was.

10 days here. We didn't have any problems, and I didn't have any pain/discomfort. Go for it! :Banane35:

My doctor said 2 weeks but we only waited 1 week. (my boyfriend was ready for sex 2 days after having a vasectomy - there's no stopping him - lol)

We were back to our rowdy sex within a week. THAT BEING SAID.. my port was flipped completely backward by my first fill, so.. I can't help but wonder if it had to do with the sex.

And now that it's between my boobs.. I am about to start a new thread about it.. when my legs are over my shoulders (ho hum!) it really hurts my port. Feel like it's pulling it out, so I'm afraid I'm going to screw it up again.

I think we waited only 3 or 4 days after. Of coarse I was also back at work on Monday after a Friday surgery so the whole process very easy very quick recovery.

I asked my doc at my post op appt at 2 weeks and his response was " I didnt do anything down there ( as he pointed between my legs) you can do it if you want " ROLFMAO my docs a goof ball .

It was a little un comfortable on top . :faint:( did i just say that )

My stomach kind of rubbed ( again im saying things out loud )

MINDY

doing away before i embarrass myself more

good to know... my dh will be home tonight!!! yippeeee.....

better keep to the easy going lovie dovie stuff for now.....see how it goes...lol

thanks for all the responses

okay, I think you should have put the "the gassy stage passes" in bold type.

Hmm... I think I waited like 2 weeks or so. DH was a little afraid to touch me before that, and although I recovered quickly, my port (in the middle of my abdomen) stayed sore for a while. It's been a while since I was banded, but I do remember sticking to either "doggy style" (I hate calling it that) , where we're laying on our sides, or me on top backwards. These seemed like the least likely to irritate my port area.

What's sex?

Wow--did I pick a good day to join THIS board...I have not yet been banded, but at least I know this part ahead of time. Thanks for your candor!!
