One week. It's been so long since my surgery..... maybe it was 2 weeks..... I know it was no longer than that.

under a week.

I think I waited a week or two. I'm like Humming Bird. I know it was no longer than two weeks.

For me it was less than a week. But, I was also the chick that was pawing at my husband about 3 weeks after giving birth, so I don't know what that says about me. LOL!:thumbup:

I think it says that you have a very happy husband!

To my surprise I have remained celibate since my surgery on Feb. 23rd!! My ex got lucky 3 days before my surgery and then he dumped me! He said that he didn't know where our relationship was going because I was having this surgery and that I wouldn't want him anymore when I lose all my weight!! So, my reply was oh you thought I only wanted you because I was fat and didn't think I could do better. With that it was dissolved! I am happy without him though! I have met someone new though.

I waited 1 week...

  • 2 weeks later...

I had surgery on Sept 8th and still waiting on my wife :'o(

I'm hoping you're all right about a week being long enough. Tomorrow is my 7th day post-op and my boyfriend is making sure I keep to my word and having sex after two weeks (it was my time of month the week prior to my surgery) since this it the longest we've gone without it in over a year, poor guy!

I think it was about a week, maybe 10 days. But there was plenty of 'extracurricular activities' prior to that.

There seems to be a lot of pressure for people to resume sex before they are comfortable with it because of the poor partner, the above being just one example.

If you are ready for sex 2 days after surgery great, if it takes you 2 months or longer that is also great. I believe that you should be making yourself a priority. Believe it or not no man ever died from a lack of sex and if he is "suffering" he can always go and visit Mrs Palmer and her 5 daughters.

have sex when you feel ready - not when you feel obliged to because your poor partner is suffering!

'Mrs Palmer and her 5 daughters.'

What a fantastic saying. Never heard that one before :smile2::lol:

mrs palmer and her 5 daugther's partner(wife ) could join in an make it an threesome, or keep the fire burning by giving him oral and tell him the rest will come when i feel comfortable enough

Elcee, I think you are right!! Luckily, my husband was okay waiting until I was ready (which was only about a week or 2). And even then he was scared he was going to hurt me. Have sex when you feel like you and your body are ready.
