For those of you who have a high sex drive, how long after surgery were you cleared to have sex, and how long until you felt good enough to really enjoy it?

Thanks!

I am 5 weeks post op. I have had regular sex since 2 weeks out but only really enjoyed it at 5 weeks out. The doc told me to wait for 1 week after the op. ????

I don't know about everyone else but the drive died completely for me. No desire at all.

My sex drive also died for a while but I didn't have the heart to say to my husband lol and now it's slowly coming back and is more enjoyable

My doctor told me as soon as I wanted it.. but that I should bear in mind that I shouldn't lift anything heavier than 15 pounds... I spent far too long speculating exactly WHAT type of sex he though I'd be having where I was lifting more than 15 pounds.... Anyway I resumed my activity after 2 weeks.. but that was just because I didn't return home to my bf until two weeks after surgery because I was staying with my sister.... If he had been around.. I would have felt great to resume relations after three or four days.

That is too funny! My doctor told me to wait four weeks!! Let's just say I am counting down...one more week to go!

I feel the same way! I think they took it out with my stomach! Lol. It is just gone! I mean completely gone! I am very worried actually. I am 6 weeks out and want to be interested in it!

I waited a week, always very active and continue to be.. I think the week was the longest we've ever gone !! Lol it was a little painful just until we found the right position then all was good !!

I asked at my one week post op, I was told I could have been having sex since the day after. But let's be real, who wants to have sex then? But I waited until most of the soreness was gone, which was about ten days. Just remember, the more weight we lose, the better it will be!

My discharge papers from the hospital said - sexual intercourse- encouraged- no lie!!! I had asked my dr the morning of my surgery abt it in front of my husband and he said I could do it the day after surgery really but ideally it's when Im comfortable with it. Saturday night was the first time since before surgery and i was 6 weeks out on Friday. I felt awful for my poor husband. I get really insecure about sex and possibly the lack there of it but I def hurt my abdomen doing it.

I was told a week. I have a high sex drive and it continued after surgery. However, still have pain and discomfort on the right side, Therefore, the traditional way is out!

[AmBeR09 60]

I waited a week

[sixbuttons 102]

I'll be 2 weeks post op tomorrow and I haven't had intercourse yet - although we've been keeping each other happy.

I'm honestly a little scared to start doing it soon! It may sound ridiculous, but I'm seriously afraid of shaking my staples loose or something! LOL!

My dr said a week but we did it like 5 days after surgery, my drive is in high????!

[rachel marie 42]

My drive also crashed. I was so excited to loose weight and finally feel comfortable enough to want to have sex. My poor husband, I haven't had sex since July because if I don't get enough Water in I'm too dehydrated and to be honest, it hurts.
