I am often accused of not being shy … LOL … so here goes the question of the night:

Sex after surgery?

When?

I forgot to ask the doctor/nurse on my out of the hospital on Tuesday. Guess I was a little out of it still and just focusing on going home.

I realize I have internal stitches and I don't want to cause any slippage or tearing … but … well … I do have more than just one type of appetite here! :wub:

I think is so great these hubby and wife banding. Do you ever get concerned that one will have a greater loss than the other or will be more successful? Just curious about the counseling related to this.

We don't... I know he will lose faster than I will (just the nature of a man usually)... but honestly.. we he has only lost 7 lbs more than me right now. It's nice having a person to help hold you accountable and understands what you are going through

It depends how you feel, it can be anywhere from a week to a month. But at least a week.

I completely agree with Laura!

Hi! My doc told me that I can have sex when I feel up to it. Didn't give a time frame. I was banded 5 days ago and my drive is starting to wake up .

I was banded, my hobby had pastric bypass 1 month after me. We waited that long so I could feel well enough to take care of him. In both cases we were told 4-6 wks

My doctor said whenever I felt up to it... I waited all of five days after surgery.... And now that I'm two months since surgery, OMG, sex has gotten sooooo much better!!!! I don't think I could wait 3-6 weeks... Stick to normal positions ( doggy style is your friend) don't try any of the Karma Sutra or any from Cosmopolitan Magazine and you should be fine
