McButterpants 2,846 Posted February 22, 2014 It wasn't discussed with my doc...I was 3 weeks post-op. I went by the "as soon as I felt up to it" theory Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RickM 1,750 Posted February 22, 2014 The nurses usually recommend that you wait until you are out of the hospital. Beyond that, it's when you feel up to it (and you should generally avoid swinging from the rafters for a while!) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mamaplumlee 58 Posted February 22, 2014 Supposed to be 6 weeks in a perfect world. I had sex 10 days out and others have within 4 days. Just gotta be gentle and careful if you must do the nasty. Condoms too you don't want a baby that soon after surgery!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
