How Long Did You Wait To Have Sex After Surgery?

[SleeveShelly 75]

I was sleeved on 9/12 and had sex on 9/15. I hope it doesn't mess up my sleeve but my dr never said anything. I went thru surgery very easy with minimal pain. Thank heavens!! This is my 5th day since surgery and I have lost 15 lbs!!!!

Ah, you beat me. I was 4 days.

As long as nothing hurts and you're OK with it, go for it. Just no swinging from the trapeze. (at least for a week or two). ????

The general consensus from docs and nurses that I have seen seems to be whenever you feel like it (though most hospital nurses prefer that you wait until you get home!)

I was told to wait two weeks, and I did that easily (mostly because my husband was 800 miles away for most of that), as I did not exactly feel......sexy.....

7 months later, however, is a WHOLE "'nother" story!!!

Doctor told we as soon as i was confortable, took me 2 weeks, tried sooner but i was still in too much pain.

Congrats - on BOTH accounts. Yep, when you're ready, just take it easy and no gymnastics.

My Dr says whenever you feel ready ....some are ready sooner than others

I did not even three whole days after and was completely fine. Just be careful and avoid the tummy

I know that sex is fleeting now, because of being tired, work, kids, home...weight, lack of um flexibility . I am hoping it will be more than a weekly thing, once I am sleeved.

Don't worry it will get better. I now have to tell hubby I am tired can we take a break for tonight. I have sex every morning like clock work since I lost 50+ pounds. Before I would beg for it and get it once a month.

Good Luck

My husband and I waited a whole...day? We dtd the day after I was sleeved, the day I was released from the hospital. I wouldn't recommend it so soon but I was fine with it in the right position. Sorry for tmi, but it is absolutely true that you can go for it whenever you're ready. We're still in the newlywed stage so abstaining the night in the hospital was difficult in itself, even considering how much pain I was in.
