adult content: when can I start having sex?



Recommended Posts

I second the comment about birth control. My surgeon insists on a month long regimen of Lovenox blood thinning injections to prevent blood clots post-surgery, which means no birth control pills for a month. My fiance and I talked about it pre-surgery, and agreed that we are going to wait until after the blood thinner is done and I'm back on the pills, because as much as we want to have children, we want me healthy and stable first.

I am a married woman and I was not ashamed to ask my doctor such an important question. He said to go ahead and get my groove on but don't go crazy. As long as you are up to it. My doc never even mentioned anything about not having sex, it was the nurse at the hospital that told me about it. When I told my doc what the nurse said during my 2weeks post-op, my doc just rolled his eyes and gave me the go ahead.

My doctor said to wait six weeks so I didn't break any stitches. We made it to about 1 week.

When can I start getting back to the groove? I had surgery 6/17 and I don't want to call my doctor and ask she prob has better question to answer haha

I asked Dr. Davidson's nurse, and she said, and I quote: "Whenever you will have as much fun as your husband"

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
