My doctor says you don't have to wait at all after surgery, as long as you feel up to it you can do it. I am pre-surgery so I don't know how I will feel after surgery but I can tell you we won't wait long. There are different ways to do things that require less effort in the beginning (I have had 4 huge babies, I understand starting back slow) :)

Fooling around 2 days post op. Slow and steady 5 days. Like a teenager with raging hormones... 9 days.

post op day 4-- from the back-- on my side... hope that makes sense. Think of spooning. It was more for him than for me but at least that set him straight for awhile.

I say two weeks because we usually don't see each other during the week. He works afternoons and I work days. I'm off work due to a knee surgery and going on the 20th for my sleeve surgery and he has already surprised me before going to work.

No restriction on when from my doc, just whenever I felt up to it. So, 3 or 4 days post-op.

Got an awkward boner as I was waking up in my room.

Could't help it.....my surgeon had three female med students with him that had been there during my final pre-op appointments......all were attractive....one of them, though......whew......stronger than new rope.

Anyway....I knew as I was waking up....all was well with the landing gear as it was deploying.....this knowledge came before I'd even been told the surgery was a success by surgeon or other staff.

I waited until being discharged from hospital to give it a test run......the IV lines would have been cumbersome.........

@@Candygyrl YES, that is exactly what I was going to say, spooning. Works great and doesn't require much effort.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
