After my hysterectomy I asked the obgyn how soon we could "seal the deal". He asked me how fast I could drive home.

Just take it slow and listen to your body.

Mine was a little farther out ..I had a hematoma at an incision site just moving really hurt..I found cowgirl to be easier though for me because then I could control the "deal"

No infection is not the same..a hematoma is formed when you have a tear and a blood clot forms. It was incredibly painful and eventually dissolved at 8 weeks.. One of my internal stitches ripped open when I sneezed and a small hematoma formed. I was very happy when the site finally felt better.

At least wait til you're out of the recovery room :) Badum-Dump!

All kidding aside, just take it slow and remember that there are other positions other than man-on-top and other forms that produce desirable results. And if you're a sweetheart and just not ready perhaps you would satisfyy his needs without a, um, "full monty".

Are you kidding? My surgeon made me wait 6 weeks (after hysterectomy)!! I didn't 'quite' make it that far, but that was excruciating. I'm hoping just as soon as I feel better we'll figure something out. :)

I'm 5 weeks out and tonight was my second try at it. I have to admit didn't feel too good! I was uncomfortable as much as I really wanted it! Guess I wasn't ready !

      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.

      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.
