About a week, with modifications. Your port sight is sore for a while so gentleness is required. The standard positions won't work for a while.

I might be feeling kinda up for it now (9 days post-surgery) but I gotta tell ya, when my husband looked at me the other night and said, "Hey, I've never seen staples in somebody before. Cool!" it was a cold shower.

sundevil - that's hilarious, though maybe you don't think so.

i'm 5 days post op, and i'm thinking sex would be ok now, as long as i was on top. but i've felt really good since my surgery and don't have any real pain from my cuts. i think it just depends on how quickly you recover, and how much you want to have sex.

i was the one who started the last sex thread, and i was hearing numbers closer to a month, so it really just depends on the person. good luck.

Banded April3rd. I did it 5 days out. All was fine.....being very careful and slow with things. Then 2 nights ago he decided to try and put my legs in places I now know should not be for a while. I jerked up in great pain saying that was not gonna work....duh! I am so sore and tender in my port arrea that it isnt funny. Its scary actually. Needless to say the "shop" has closed down till my belly feels better. My advice to all is to be really slow in your movements.

Ew.

Anyway... How about: when I get married!

So funny! (and good girl!)

I'm 12 days out, and he hasn't DARED (he's afraid I'll bite his head off, I think). My guess is in the next day or so, though.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
