Sex

[Lifeafter40 89]

I forgot to ask my Doctor during my follow up, How long after WLS you can start having sex? I am 11 days post op and my man is seriously questioning me lol.

My surgeon said as soon as you are comfortable!

The most common answer that I see on these forums, and my doc's position on it, is simply "when you feel up to it." Obviously, no swinging from the rafters for a while, and you need to watch your positions, but any that allow for comfortable engagement is fine - there is nothing inherently damaging to your surgery from the consequences of your fun.

My instructions were explicitly two weeks.

My surgeon advised not to do it in the hospital room! I guess because of cameras. That never deterred me before :-)

As soon as I was comfortable and if a certain position hurt don't do it lol

My Dr said wait 2 wks, then do what's comfortable, don't get too freaky his words I swear!

I was also told wait for two weeks, and then to take it easy!
