How Soon Can I Resume Intercourse After Surgery?



Recommended Posts

Ok so this may be tmi but I was wondering how soon after surgery I can have sex again. I have heard 6 weeks and that just really sucks! I have my appointment with my physician pre op on the 23rd but my mom is coming with me. I would rather not ask in front of her lol

hmm I dunno why it would be 6 weeks...when you're able to return to the gym after 3 weeks? I'd say take it easy and don't too wild for a bit

I was a week out and had intercourse. Just don't get TOO frisky and get into a position that won't put any pressure on your abdomen.

I was told by my doctor's office that as long as I felt ok and it wasn't causing me pain or discomfort to go for it.

I'd advise to at least wait till you're out of the recovery room :)

Seriously, whenever you're ready and as Karen points out take it easy and be sure not to put too much pressure on yourself. Perhaps lady on top?

This was at the top of the list of my questions! My surgeon says wait a week, but that this varies based on the patients desire! He states it's a personal choice and after a week he has no concerns:-)

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
