So I'm only 3 days post op and my boyfriend has already asked how long we have to wait prior to being intimate again. I told him he needs to at least wait for me to be seen at my f/u appt. I just wanted to know on average, how long have others waited post WLS.

It was day 8 before I even thought about it. I didn't like the idea of my belly being shook at all, LOL.

I was told to weight 4 weeks, that is also when I can start my birth control again. I'm 2 weeks post op and I'm thinking another two weeks, isn't going to happen. hahaha! I know they don't want you to get pregnant and I understand anything is possible there, but I have fertility issues so I'm sure I wouldn't even if we did. Can't wait to read the other posts on this one! My f/u appointment is tomorrow so I might ask the nurse if it's ok or not.

My doctor said two weeks and I believe we waited 10 days. The next day my abs were sore beyond sore! I wanted nothing to do with sex though for at least 7-8 days.

lol, this is good information. I was thinking that it had to be at least 2 weeks. I have a huge sexual appetite but I am not will to hurt myself in the process. I especially don't want to risk getting pregnant at this time. I was also told to wait 4 weeks post op to resume my birth control pills.< /p>

I would say I waited ten days. My husband was very careful. I have the mirena so I wasn't worried about getting pregnant.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
