today is my one week since surgery had my staples removed lost 10 pounds in 1 week i forgot to ask Dr's office about can you have sex? I am still sore on left side and steri strips on the incisions. Hubby has been on the road and comes home tonight and i am scared to open any incisions.

wow... that is a great question. I would call the doctor..... you may just have to do "something" else.... lol

i'm waiting for my few weeks to pass after my Tummy Tuck.... only on week 2... 2 to go.

It really depends on you. My doctor told me whenever I feel ready. It was a little over a week.

my md said two weeks after surgery "I can hangglide and whatever else I wanted to do". But I agree its upto you, and what you feel comfortable with.

I didn't even think to ask my doctor, and didn't even think about it being an issue until I saw someone post the question on here. Since I didn't ask, I just went with how I felt, for me that was four days post op. Everything was fine, I just would be careful of having any weight on your incisions.

Thank u all it helps alot!!

Just be on top! I had no issues with that and I think I had sex 2-3 days after my surgery.

Man, I need to get my libido checked out.

I wasn't even thinking of wanting to try.

It is just like having a baby and they say to wait 6 weeks. There is all sorts of healing going on inside. You might feel fine, but your body is not completely done doing its job! My post op directions say 3 weeks. So that is what is happening here! My husband is counting the days

Waited exactly 2 weeks and had no problems:)

when I was rebanded, I had sex a week post op and a few days later someone asked this question and I was like ohhh yea I had sex without even worrying like a week after.

Sometimes, other things are more on your mind

My doc orders say wait at least 2 weeks. I think the longer you can hold off the better. You won't want to cause problems for yourself. You have been through too.much to mess it up.

I had asked a friend about this, she said she had used the surgery excuse long enough, hubby wasn't buying it anymore
