    my dr said when i felt well enough too.....4 or 5 days.. try different positions (like standing up) if you are worried about your tummy.

I definitely love your attitude girl! LOL

I am sure it is different for everyone, but you will know when it is the right time. You are healing inside and out, so you definitely want to take precautions and not hurt yourself. I would recommend running the question by your doctor and then proceed very carefully.

We were very careful, but we only waited about 5 days. Hubs was gentle to make sure we didn't hurt anything.

It has been 10 days since surgery and my boyfriend is scared. He thinks that he is going to hurt something. I should be happy that he is so concerned LOL

o0o0o this is actually a good question! ( I have no advice ) other than asking the DR..

I asked this same question a few weeks ago!! Most people said that you can use your judgement and healing feeling as a guide but the general consenses was 5 days to a week! Enjoy =)

I'm not worried as long as my wife doesn't try to lean into my port or suture line(s).

My materials from the Dr said 2 weeks, but the most we could wait was 10 days. We were just careful.

You have to remember....we have no children at home, so.......
