DH = Dear Husband

I am not sure with the sleeve, but I had sex with my husband about 10 days post-op my band surgery. John, my husband, was deployed during my revision to the sleeve June 3rd, and he didn't get home until September 30th.

From what I've heard from others, they were able to be intimate once they were pain free, and comfortable. Of course, you can't be a contortionist immediately post op, but take it easy and be gentle.

I asked my Dr. at my 2 week post-op and he said "whenever you feel ready". I think on my discharge paperwork it said not to for 8 weeks so hubby was glad to hear that!

As far as DH? I'm still not sure?!?!?! I think it's Darling? Husband? I dunno!

TMI alert, I warn you, it seems much harder to "get there" for a good month or so after the surgery. At least that was my experience. I wonder if anyone else has had this problem?

I thought DH = darling husband; guess it doesn't matter, darling, dear, as long as it's nice ....

When I asked Dr. Aceves about having sex (while I was in the hospital) - he said "Not here, please" (and then turned very red) ... lol ... he said as long as it didn't hurt, it was okay anytime I felt like it. I will tell you this (if not wanting TMI - stop reading) -- now that I have lost about 52 lbs and Bearded has lost 49 or so, it sure feels different - and is even better than it was before!

Since I have lost my weight I have to agree, it is much better! I can't wait to loose more!

When I see "DH", I normally think Dear Husband. But, depending on the day & what he's done, it can also refer to Dumb Husband :001_tt2: :) :001_tt2: :biggrin0: :001_tt2:.

      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.
