Adult Question....

Have looked around and I haven't found this question. And if this question belongs somewhere else, please just tell me. I was wondering, after being banded, how was the sexual relations, with your significant other? The port area. I didn't ask the doc this question, just didn't think about it. Thanks,

D'

Never a problem. Obviously while you're initially healing, you'll wanna make sure your belly isn't being smooshed or bumped around, but you'll be the judge and know whether its still sore or not and can take a little rough-housing...

And after you're all healed, I don't think you need to worry about it at all.

We waited until I was about 3 weeks out before doing anything and then we just took it slow. Now, after losing 70 pounds, OH MY GOD sex is amazing! I am so much more flexible and can get into such crazy positions!!!

He says that he felt the port a few times, but only when we hug very tight. He said he feels like a bump in me.

Since you said "The port area" I assume you mean sensitivity during sex in the area of the port? If so, I'm over 2 years out and this is still a reality for me. There are some things I can't do, or don't want to, because they will cause port discomfort. But all the other things I'm now able to do again more than make up for it.
