My doc said that I could become intimate as soon as I wanted to....just have hubby be careful with your tummy. It will give you an opportunity to become creative on positions that do not put weight on your tummy.

LOL your husband sounds just like mine and he was afraid as heck. I was band on April 2nd and for us waited a month because i was afraid, but like Aspiring stated think of creative ways and have fun!

LMBO- wondered why you called me "aspiring"...then saw under my name "aspiring evangelist"....I never noticed that before. I guess it has to do with the amount of posts you make...which translates into...I am a stalker that has no life!

Well, everyone seems to have been more conservative than I was. I wanted to wait until all of my incisions were closed and well in their way to healing. As I recall that was only around a couple of weeks.

My belief, based on my own experience is that no official medical release from the doctor should be needed; what matters is how you are feeling, and the degree to which you are healed.

If your having sexual frustration until your Dr gives you an okay I would invest in little toy for down under. Also you may want to start with positions with little belly moment for you ( guy on top, standing up) mainly you don't want to stress your an muscles too much

But you know sex is good for your health. Women who have sex 4x a week have better immunity and live long. Plus think of the calories you burn

WARNING! THE FOLLOWING IS REAL TALK!!

I had sex the next day and while I never asked the doctors advice on intercourse I did ask about oral sex and his advice to me was "avoid it if its gonna make you gag, but if you absolutetly feel the NEED, go slow and dont swallow... until your on solid food"

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
