Medical Advice Needed

Dear enema enthusiasts like me. I have a medical question that is very specific but I am not comfortable asking my doctor. I am 5 months in after gastric bypass surgery and have always been into all anal play and enemas. For obvious reasons I waited for quite awhile after surgery to continue practicing any anal play and enemas, however I have begun these things again with the help of my very enthusiastic wife. My question is simply, is this save for me now? Although I know that penetration in no way can "reach" any parts that were part of my surgery, it all feels different now. Not bad different but different. I can't take the enema volume I use to be able to take and although I want very badly to continue with deep penetration, anything beyond 6 or 8 inches becomes uncomfortable. I assume that much of this is due to the huge weight loss that I have experienced but would love to get a professional opinion or words of wisdom from someone who has had the same procedure and shares my fetishes.

There are several factors to consider.

Was your gastric bypass done with open incisions or laparoscopically?

If it was laparoscopic with small incisions that is better than open incisions as far as rapid healing is concerned.

Was any surgery done on any part of your large intestine?

If yes, you need to speak with your surgeon.

Usually, the bypass is connected to the jejunum shortly after the duodenum. If no surgery was done on the large intestine, you should be fine.

DON'T try to force enema solution past the ileocecal valve into the small intestine.

Susie's points are valid. Gastric bypass is usually connected high up in the small intestines. In addition to shrinking your stomach to reduce your capacity, the surgery also bypasses part of the small intestine. That means there is a shorter intestinal tract to absorb nutrients from your food. For some folks, that may also mean they need to take a supplement for added nutrients, for example an iron supplement.

I differ with Susie a little bit about the laparoscopic vs. open incision. It is true the smaller incision should heal faster, however the surgeon has a much better view of what they are doing with an open incision. Some refuse to do laparoscopic. For you the distinction is probably moot. You said the procedure was five months ago, so either way you are probably all healed up.

As Susie said, don't force anything.

After years of battling the bulge and metabolic disease I'm now 3 days post op from having bariatric bypass surgery. It was a tough decision to make but I'm calling this my last best chance of getting to and maintaining a healthy weight.

At this point in time I have no interest in resuming enemas for play... largely due to the fact that I'm still having some pain and I know every thing inside and out is still healing. I'm sure that after everything has healed up I will be able to have some enema fun. The need for a therapeutic enema may arise if dealing with constipation and I may take some small volume enemas to help with that.

For now I'm just happy to be on this journey to weight loss.
