Sensitive question

Ok, were there any restrictions on waiting to have sex? My 2 week post op is on Thursday, but didn't know if I needed to wait or not... :)

Check with your doctor if you're concerned--but I was told that sex was okay as soon as it was comfortable enough to do.

My Doctor said when you are ready but not in the hospital please!!

Mine said it was fine as soon as you felt fine with doing the deed. No restrictions there. (I'm sure in the hospital was one of them - LOL!)

My Doc told me to wait at least 6 weeks. My husband wasn't too happy, but we didn't actually make it..:w00t: LOL I would suggest taking it easy, you might irritate the port area. And depending where your your port is might make it a bit difficult at first. It could be quite painful rather than pleasurable. As my hubby demonstrated though when there's a will there's way. Being on top didn't do too much harm...:) HAHAHA!! (Hopefully, that wasn't too much of a TMI moment.)

Im glad someone asked the sex question. I was wondering about it,but couldnt ask my much younger and good looking surgeon!

Im having my op next month,with a mix of excitment and what the heck am i doing? Goin round my mind.

This site encourages me and supports me, thanks from rural new zealand..

i was told by my doc whenever.. but he didnt recommend my fiance being ontop because hes a big guy to. We had (sex) 6 days post op and than there after.. and i felt NO discomfort.. so its really up 2 you.. have fun

Mine told me 2 weeks i made it till day 9 LOL:tt2:

One week was what I was told, mine was laparoscopic.
