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

My doctor said 10 days as long as I felt well and was rested.

I was told by my doctor to wait 3-4 weeks unless I 'felt up to it' sooner.

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!)

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!!!
