Recovery time before Sex and CrossFit



Recommended Posts

I posted in the men's page but I didn't get a response, so lets open it up to everybody. I've been fairly active with working out the last year with CrossFit and cardio about 4 times a week until a month ago because I had an anal fistula that I had surgery on. It was the tipping point of deciding to do the surgery. My doc has released me to walk and that is it right now. After the sleeve how long until you can get your heart rate for incline walking? Or even CrossFit? Or Sex? How long were most of you off of work? I have a hard time of being still!

Ask your Dr.

Crossfit is going to be at least 6 weeks, because of hernia risk.

I have done Crossfit and honestly you won't be able to drink Water fast enough or eat enough calories for it until at least 6 months.

I had sex last week, which was my 3rd week post op. I was still sore but I wanted to have sex. I couldn't do many positions since I was still sore so if your partner doesn't mind you laying while they're on top, you'll be fine.

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
