I haven't been banded yet but wanted to drop my congrats to you - my bf of 4 yrs wouldn't and hasn't touched me since as I hit 190, a 30 pound gain from when I met him (5'6, current 270), so I am happy for you that you have someone undetered by your struggle.

I waited less than a week. There was some port pains in certain positions (even to this day) Just be gentle!

It makes me feel sad that you are with someone so selfish and superficial.

I waited about a week also, as the person before said just be careful! Some positions are not so comfortable! :confused:

I know, it made me want to cry.

As soon as you want to, which will probably be a few days and you'll have to be a bit creative as the 'traditional' way of sex is pretty uncomfortable for a while because of the port sight being so tender. Trying to be delicate...but you get my drift. If it isn't hurting you do it.

I guess about 10 days. My abdominal region was just so sore until then. My only advise is to tell your partner to watch out for the port site. It is still pretty sensitive to any kind of pressure.

Hi. I would say when your body feels up to it you'll know. If you partner is understanding you should be ok. Tell him the longer you have to heel the better it will be when you do get to have some fun. Also there are "fun" things you can do that might satisfy him (and you) before your completely healed.

Good luck

I'm laughing because I'm like woohoo!! I wonder if I can tell him 6 weeks like when we had our daughter?!?

That made me giggle!!

I waited 2 wks, and that's because of my husband :huggie: We were banded the same day and he had a LONGER recovery time than I did. He was a bit of a baby :w00t:.

5 days for me and my hubby, he was banded before me, but we had waited for 5 days after each surgery, just be gentle and yes, creative. Good Luck

We waited about a week and a half. My husband ask the doctor when could we resume sexual activity and the dr aceves told him "whenever you want, I did not operate down there" LOL
