Sex and a new sleeve?



Recommended Posts

Hi Slightly embarrassing but how long did people wait after their sleeve surgery before having sex? I know this sounds mental but my doctor told me not to do any strenuous exercise for six weeks!! that is too long!! My husband comes home in two weeks. Im four days post op now by then I'll be about 15/16 days post op. I have a very high sex drive and I am already getting twitchy lol.

You did you all do?

Here's my phone number: 555-123-1234. Just kidding. I'm about to go thru the same thing. My surgery is 3-6-14. Hang in there.

Nothing to be embarrassed about...that's why God made us like he did! :)

My wife and I waited about two weeks and all was okay. Now keep in mind, you won't be using any swings or a trapeze :lol: , but by 15/16 days, y'all should be fine.

Good luck on your journey!

Thank you but I was kind of hoping for some answers from the girls. No offence guys. It's just girl talk

We waited about 3 weeks, just because I was in pain the first week, sore the second and just tired the third. Nothing went wrong.....again no swings, trapeze or anything too wild and you will be ok.

Sex doesn't have to be a strenuous activity. I had to wait for about a month because my husband had the surgery too and was a whiner, but once we were back "on the saddle" things were great. Try when you're ready, if it hurts, stop right away.

As soon as you're ready! I ran fever and tried to get pneumonia right after my surgery so that put a damper on things but after a day or two of antibiotics we were back at it. I'm thinking it was around a week out (5 days?). Not long at all. Like the previous poster said "no trapeze" but you'll be able to find a comfortable pace to achieve your goal.

We waited about 2.5-3 weeks for actual intercourse, My birth control go out of wack so I wanted to wait until I started a new pack. To be honsest though we fooled around 2 days after I got out of the hospital. 1 night away from me and my fiance acted like I had been gone for 6 months, it was too adorable to resist. Keep it simple and take it easy.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
