My doc said that I could become intimate as soon as I wanted to....just have hubby be careful with your tummy. It will give you an opportunity to become creative on positions that do not put weight on your tummy.

LOL your husband sounds just like mine and he was afraid as heck. I was band on April 2nd and for us waited a month because i was afraid, but like Aspiring stated think of creative ways and have fun!

LMBO- wondered why you called me "aspiring"...then saw under my name "aspiring evangelist"....I never noticed that before. I guess it has to do with the amount of posts you make...which translates into...I am a stalker that has no life!

Well, everyone seems to have been more conservative than I was. I wanted to wait until all of my incisions were closed and well in their way to healing. As I recall that was only around a couple of weeks.

My belief, based on my own experience is that no official medical release from the doctor should be needed; what matters is how you are feeling, and the degree to which you are healed.

If your having sexual frustration until your Dr gives you an okay I would invest in little toy for down under. Also you may want to start with positions with little belly moment for you ( guy on top, standing up) mainly you don't want to stress your an muscles too much

But you know sex is good for your health. Women who have sex 4x a week have better immunity and live long. Plus think of the calories you burn

WARNING! THE FOLLOWING IS REAL TALK!!

I had sex the next day and while I never asked the doctors advice on intercourse I did ask about oral sex and his advice to me was "avoid it if its gonna make you gag, but if you absolutetly feel the NEED, go slow and dont swallow... until your on solid food"

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
