Wow I asked my doctor and he was really vague said he doesn't like to put a lot of restrictions on his patients but I'm just a bit scared to do something too early and hurt myself. I've told my partner that I will see how I feel at 2 weeks out.

One week. I've been married for 24 years and still attracted to my husband. No Fifty Shades of Gray stuff though, lol.

Thank you so much that gives me peace of mind!!

I waited two 1/2 weeks and were fine....my lower stomach is still sore a little so I made sure my husband didn't put any weight on it! Just listen to your body, you'll know when it's right!

My post-op instructions say I can have sex, exercise, whatever I want to do as soon as I feel up to it. It's hard to imagine feeling amorous too soon after my gut gets ripped open, lol!

I was just wondering how long did other women wait after surgery to engage in sex?

I waited a week no big deal besides energy ..

      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.
