Personal Question - but how long after surgery before - you know

[MCE33 17]

So I forgot to ask my doctor and have not had my 2 week check up yet - but how long until you can have sex again? Surely not a whole 6 weeks right?

The paperwork I have tells me 4 weeks "using my best judgement". Othet folks here have restarted sooner though. Having just got home from the hospital, I can't even imagine it lol.

Don't rush into bedroom gymnastics this early out. You don't want to snap something out of place.

I was told "as soon as you feel up to it."

My Dr said when I felt up to it. I was about a week out... I had to get on top because my tummy was still a little sore.

I am going to wait around 6 weeks. I had a partial hysterectomy July 22nd and my RNY August 22. Also, my husband is gone for a while with the Army so it isn't as though I have a choice.

If it were a simple situation I would still wait around a month. You wouldn't want to be in the middle of "rocking the boat" and blow a gasket.

I asked the same question a few weeks ago and majority who responded to mine said they waited for about 1 week. I have my pre-op with the surgeon next week so I'm going to ask him then.
