Sorry, one more question on "relations" with the lapband...

Ha-ha. Does having the lapband (specifically the port part) hinder the "relations" part in your life. As in, can you (or your partner) see it or feel it during that time? For some reasom I have this vision of someone that has a colostomy bag (minus the bag part). Am I hopefully wrong in my assumption obvious this port thing is or isn't?

Thanks again for any help!

I was banded on 10/25 and can happily report that it does not hinder your love life. The port is located directly under the skin so you will feel what appears to be a small lump. The only slight discomfort I can possibly say is around the incision (scar) aeas, once they heal you should have no discomfort.

There are no hanging tubes or frankenstein like devices, only the small bump. Believe me it will not affect your love life at all.

Good luck...........

Happy to report no problem here AT ALL. If anything it has "enhanced" that part of my life--simply because I feel so much better about myself.

Good luck;)
