Sex. Seriously how long after surgery should I wait?



Recommended Posts

Sex was never a problem for me. I’m just wondering how long did you guys wait to start having sex again. I’m 3 days out, probably to soon...

8- days Pffft! 4 weeks! I would never be able to wait 4 weeks. Just sayin'

How sore are your incisions - abdomen? I would go by that. No gymnastics and no crazy positions.

I suggest side-by-side or some other 'not much full frontal' contact position. You can always abandon the attempt ya know and go for a 'different' creative finish.

Wait?? Why would anyone wait! ☺️ J/K I say once the pain stops the fun starts. I have two children both born by cesarean and boy did I not wait 6 weeks. Bad bad me 😂

Thanks for the ideas. There is no way I’m waiting 4 weeks. Honestly my soreness just feels like I did an intense an workout.

I'm sure the recommendation to wait is just like exercise, to allow a full recovery and prevent a hernia.

However, I imagine the time period in the real world is different for everyone.

Being overweight has definitely impacted my libido so 4 weeks is probably a shorter period than what our current rotation is. lol Hoping this surgery helps me get back on track.

Girl I was doing it everyday. Multiple times a day. Now he’s all we can wait until you heal trying to be supportive and I’m just like... I mean I guess

      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.
