Just wondering how long after surgery can the sex be had? Did your sex drive change?

Had it the first week after surgery, though it caused pain, as wounds were not healed, but, during my weight loss prior to surgery my drive was high and same thing afterwards, had the better of me. It then dropped after about 2 weeks, cntrary to what most people here said. It then rocketed again after about 6 weeks.

Whenever the thought of someone putting pressure of your stomach doesn't make you want to punch them in the face.....Yep that's when.

I think it was about 5 days post-op for me? Of course, I had my surgery in Mexico and my husband didn't travel with me, so I wasn't even home until the night of the 4th day post-op, so it wasn't really an option before that!

Two weeks. Once I had lost enough weight to get relief on my joints and neuropathies did I see an increase in drive. Getting rid of Lyrica, blood pressure meds, anti-depressants, and hydrocone help me have more feeling and less fogginess. All is good.

I was 2 weeks out, but only because my husband was scared he'd hurt me. I would have been good at a week out, maybe sooner. Remember the missionary position isn't the only way to have sex. He doesn't have to get close to your incisions at all. Make sure it's comfortable for you. I'm sure he won't care!!!

My libido hasn't changed at all, so far! People are all different! Don't sweat it!!!

Two weeks out...just choose a comfortable position & encourage your partner to do all the work :)

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
