Post-Op Question



Recommended Posts

I'm sure this isn't the first time someone has asked, but how soon after surgery can I be sexually intimate with my husband? It's one of the few things I didn't think to ask until after I left the doctor's office for my pre-op. Thanks!

There was a thread out there on the main boards somewhere, but I cant find it. I think the jist of it was, two weeks or after your incisions healed and you felt like it.

I had to get info on that one too. ;)

I'm sure the docs don't want us popping stitches, staples, glue, or whatever is keeping us closed up. I guess I'm gonna have to get busy this weekend! :becky:

I remembered to ask at my pre-op. My surgeon told me as soon as I felt comfortable and up to it.

Well I can tell you I had sex the noght before and it was great. I did ask my doctor because I have a hornball hubby and he said about 1 week and then you can do it if you feel up to it.. I could not hold on my hubby so when the week was up in the sack we went... But just because you cant have sex doesnt mean foreplay is out of the question

You are all wonderful and funny! I love it!

Having just had spinal injections for a pinched nerve & arthritis, my DH is afraid of hurting me. He's sweet, & I'm horny! :nervous

I'll ask before surgery on Monday! Thanks All!

You all are cracking me up! I know that I didn't ask that question, but probably on purpose so that I could legitimately say "I'm not sure it's O.K. to do it yet" when I just plain ole didn't want to!:biggrin1: Seriously though, I do think it was in my packet of information that they gave me. I'll try to go find it for you.

Karen I think I was told 2 weeks or until I felt ok with it. Well I am young also but I feel like I am 80 when it comes to that. My poor hubby gotta love him....he is so patient w/ me.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
