Sex & the Band....



Recommended Posts

Ok guys lets talk. I've been searching through old post and cant find one subject on this. I've been with my BF for 4 yrs and we like to keep it interesting, new "moves" and stuff. ( if this is TMI turn away now) I am pretty flexable for being a PHAT girl. My question is...is anything off limits? Will I feel a poke from the port, will he feel the port (not that I think he would care) but serioulsy can I damage the band or the port, by having a wildly "good time"? Oh and how long before you were "back in the game" after being banded?

You can play as soon as you don't hurt any more, so basically, you can play as soon as you want to.

And considering where the band is physically, uhm, if he's capable of doing anything that could disturb it... uhm, sell tickets? Of course, I believe he would pass out from lack of blood flow, you know given the hydrolics of the mechanics...

LOL!!!

Vines is so funny, lol. Anyhow, I don't think you'll hurt anything. I was told to wait 2 weeks before "moderate exersize" so I told my boyfriend of three years he had to wait that long before we tried having sex, and if anything started to hurt, we'd have to stop. We went slow, and everything was fine.

I'd probably wait 6 weeks before doing anything TOO crazy. He might feel the port if he puts his hand over the area, I can feel mine. I'm a year out and if I bend funny or stretch or something that I haven't done since surgery it can surprise the muscles a little bit and be a little sore, but nothing that warrants a call to the doc or anything that.

Five and a half months out and I haven't run into anything off limits :)

We were back at it (albiet, taking it a bit slow), in a little over a week. Doctor said whenever I felt up to it would be fine.

Enjoy :)

Joy,

Just remember in case your doctor didn't tell you that after Band surgery your chances of getting pregnent increase so if you don't want that to happen be extra careful!!! I didn't have to worry since I'm too old to have to worry! LOL

Not to be too graphic, but I just found out I need a port revision. My port flipped...and I think it was a wild night that may have flipped it!! Maybe not, but that's the only time I have been aware of "feeling" my port since I had the surgery. So if something feels uncomfortable, stop and try something different!!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
