ld33 94 Posted January 18, 2016 How long before you felt up to it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Proud2BMe 1,016 Posted January 18, 2016 The surgery is not that bad. It just feels like you were punched or kicked in the stomach. Theoretically you could begin whenever you wanted or feel comfortable to. Ask your doctor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
M!@ 320 Posted January 18, 2016 This depends on how you are feeling. As long as your partner is aware of the surgery and plans to be careful, I don't see an issue. For me it was around day 10 only because my hubby was not in town, I am sure it would have been a few days sooner had he been here. Take that back he probably would have made me wait anyway. He is an overprotective one. I really did not have pain etc. from surgery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Miss Mac 6,262 Posted January 20, 2016 Two weeks, but I am old. If I were even a decade younger, I probably could have indulged at one week, but not with any energy on my part - just pleasant availability. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dub 9,922 Posted January 24, 2016 A few minutes after becoming coherent in my hospital room. Sprung and ready. Couldn't be helped. My surgeon had 4 smoking hot med students with him during my pre-op appointments and throughout my surgery and first post op visit. They were all leaning in....hair down...surgical gear off....leaning in and speaking soothing voices as I woke up. I thought I'd died and was in greener pastures for a second.

CowgirlJane 14,260 Posted January 27, 2016 I don't recall how long it was before I felt up to it, but it was a few years before I experienced it (i assure you, I felt up to it well before 2 years!) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
