I asked this in another area but did not get the answer I am looking for. I am married and we have a very healthy sex life:wink_smile: I am worried about once the port is placed is there anything that I may need to do to make sure that I do not threaten the placement of the port? No one can seem to answer this for me so far. And I have not been able to ask my doc's office about it...:cool2::blushing:

well...I will say that for me...I haven't had any problems. I asked my doctor before the surgery and he said that when I was comfortable enough...then there wasn't any reason not to carry on as usual. It's been a little more than two months since my surgery...and everything has been all good. I think we took two weeks off right after the surgery...but that's it.

I started back about 3 weeks out and it was all good lol! I actually asked my GYN because she has had the surgery herself and she said that I could do anything that didn't cause me any discomfort. If you do feel pain then just get on top and that should take care of it:)

Many people have problems with their port healing properly so only you will know how your port feels. I didn't have any problems with my port healing. My port is about 3-4 inches below my bra and I like it there. My bra doesn't rub against my port and neither does my jeans.

I hope this helps. Wishing you all the best!!!!!!!!!!

As my pants get a little too big the waist does rub against my scar, it was red for about 2 days until I realized what was going on... as far as sex after surgery its fine...do it when you feel able.

It so funny you should discuss this subject...about two months ago I got paranoid because me and my partner got a lil raunchy in the bedroom. I swore that band slipped because I felt no restriction. I called my surgeon and his nurse told me when I can't hold food down then that would be an indicator. I'm ok and a girl just like getting worked out a lil sumthing behind closed doors. :thumbup:

Nice to know ladies! I'm going to be banded on January 22nd and my hubby was very interested in this! Thanks for your answers.

The only thing I would say is be careful with doggystyle for a few weeks as you stretch your stomach muscles somewhat and a sharp pain can come out of nowhere...other than that try whatever you like and if it hurts move around! :-)

I remember asking my nurse 3 weeks after surgery if I could participate in "adult activities?" He looked at me sidways as asked me "what are you referring to, cause there are a lot of things adults do." He then went on to say, "for the first month, let him do all the work, and you just lay back and enjoy." Now, I can't say that the statement was too appropriate coming from my nurse, but that was all I needed to hear. LOL! That is just what I did. I have instructions, and enjoyed.

So do what works for you. I say take my nurses advice. :laugh:

Well, ladies my husband thinks that I'm his new play toy...LOL! He ain't no good at all! I finally figured out what his game plan is: he get me all rowled up then watch me go for it...nasty I tell you and down right sneaky!

Have fun lady's it ALL GOOD and getting better!
