Getting back in the sack...

Complete frankness here. Has anyone started having sex again yet?

We celebrated 2 weeks post-op last night. :wink2: There was this strange pressure sensation, almost like I could feel the band moving (missionary position, but not full stomach contact).

I've also noticed the same feeling when I slouch, or when I laugh. It's not quite "pain" but it's borderline. I usually put my hand over it and put pressure against it and that seems to help. I'm honestly not sure if it's the port itself or just where the port incision is still swollen/hard. When I touch it, it feels VERY close to the skin, like barely under the skin.

Is this normal? Isn't the band supposed to be deeper? Anyone have any clue what I'm talking about, lol?

The post-op instructions say it's okay to resume sex 2 weeks afterward, but I'm wondering if that's what everyone else was told, too.

Ok, finally DTD, 1 month after surgery. Didn't feel any discomfort at all. Couldn't feel the port site or any incisions. :thumbup:
