Sex after WLS

[Martha78 0]

So I'm only 3 days post op and my boyfriend has already asked how long we have to wait prior to being intimate again. I told him he needs to at least wait for me to be seen at my f/u appt. I just wanted to know on average, how long have others waited post WLS.

It was day 8 before I even thought about it. I didn't like the idea of my belly being shook at all, LOL.

I was told to weight 4 weeks, that is also when I can start my birth control again. I'm 2 weeks post op and I'm thinking another two weeks, isn't going to happen. hahaha! I know they don't want you to get pregnant and I understand anything is possible there, but I have fertility issues so I'm sure I wouldn't even if we did. Can't wait to read the other posts on this one! My f/u appointment is tomorrow so I might ask the nurse if it's ok or not.

My doctor said two weeks and I believe we waited 10 days. The next day my abs were sore beyond sore! I wanted nothing to do with sex though for at least 7-8 days.

Plz let me know what your nurse tells you at your appt on this subject matter. I'm very curious.

lol, this is good information. I was thinking that it had to be at least 2 weeks. I have a huge sexual appetite but I am not will to hurt myself in the process. I especially don't want to risk getting pregnant at this time. I was also told to wait 4 weeks post op to resume my birth control pills.< /p>

My doctor said whenever you feel you are ready. I waited 5 days and just had to be careful of the port.

I would say I waited ten days. My husband was very careful. I have the mirena so I wasn't worried about getting pregnant.
