JEGhost 0 Posted October 19, 2013 Hi, I'm new around here and am scheduled for my sleeve on Friday. Do any of you guys know how long I need to wait to have sex after the surgery? I'm not worried about the exertion (my lady will handle the "workload" for as long as necessary) but I'm worried about how my stomach muscles contract when I get to the "end." Thx!

JEGhost 0 Posted October 20, 2013 Thanks, everyone. Joatsaint, I ended up watching a bunch of your videos. They were really helpful, thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JonRN 14 Posted October 20, 2013 I know my surgeon said when I was ready but watch the stomach area. My wife was sleeved a week before I was and had sex two days after she got home. After I was sleeved she wanted sex the day I got home but we waited until the next day. Just take it easy and you'll be fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BrantS1976 243 Posted January 15, 2014 Sounds like whenever you feel ready must be the surgeon's universal answer because I was told the same thing. Was told not to carry around our then 9 month old son for a week, but sex as okay as soon as I felt up to it. Not sure the wife was buying off on both of those time frames.

BWaltD 87 Posted March 7, 2014 I was sleeved on February 3rd. Released to go home on the 5 the and had sex that night. Slow motion but it counts. Lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bob2013 326 Posted March 18, 2014 I waited for a few weeks. Not because of the surgery. Because over the past couple years, sex was awkward and difficult from being overweight. The wife and I really did not have a very active sex life. Now after losing a bunch of weight. Things are much better. But on the original question, 3 weeks here and had no issues. But I am sure if you take it easy a week or two sooner may be ok. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mallori Baker 5 Posted April 8, 2014 I had surgery 4-2-14 and had sex yesterday 4-6-14. It wasn't amazing acrobatic sex but still felt good. We were careful and made sure he didn't put any weight on me. It didn't hurt at all except just a little (scale of 1-10 would've been a 2) when I got there just from tightening my stomach muscles. But the after felt so good I didn't mind the little twinge of pain. In fact I felt better the rest of the day than I had since I left the hospital. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
