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"

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
