ChristieK 70 Posted April 4, 2013 I may get yelled at for this, but we waited 3 days.... Now of course it was not hard core. And I did not hurt one bit. He was attentive the whole time asking if I was ok. I think you just need to listen to your body.

prettynpink 110 Posted April 4, 2013 My doctor said do it when you feel up to it. There are no restrictions in that area. I have heard a good bit of people say they were ready 10 days post op! 1 annabelle reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

magpie30 187 Posted April 4, 2013 yeah, i recomend avoiding anything hard core or "jarring". I threw up after sex the first time. and we have to be very very gentle or i get sick. lol my tummy doesn't like motion apparently! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fiddleman 4,376 Posted April 4, 2013 How long ? 1 week post op! 21 days as that is what the doctor said. And for you fast attempters no reverse cowgirl sex on the first time (sorry, this might be an inside joke if you have not seen the discussions on it).

CowgirlJane 14,260 Posted April 4, 2013 You people are hardcore. My goodness, the recovery wasn't THAT hard but I guess I was a wimp. I was sleeping in a recliner, doing my little walks but terrified of engaging the ab muscles. Well, that is because I made a mistake of using my abs the day after the surgery and about fainted from the pain - otherwise I really wasn't in pain, but I babied those ab muscles! I also felt gross because I had drains for the first week - I was a revision from the band and so it was just extra pre-caution. Nothing says unsexy like a couple of drains, trust me on that one! I also felt hugely hugely hugely fat because they pumped me up with fluids like a thanksgiving turkey. Sex was the last think on my mind those early days post op...lol I am alot more fun now 3 CharmingTortoise, sharonintx and Red_lips_and_confidence reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
