I understand that sexual activity is not allowed for the usual 30 days. Curious to know if that also applies to masturbating?

call your dr and ask.

I dunno who told you that, but the vast majority of patients are told basically that they can resume s-e-x as soon as they're comfortable with it.

If you aren't in pain, go for it. I would think it would be much less strenuous than sex.

I heard it can make you go blind...

Nice one MaryMoon!! Love it!!

As for sex, I was able to participate 2 wks after surgery... who told you you have to wait 30days? And as for masterbation... why not? If you've got the desire, full fill the need!! But SEX burns calories!!

I was just being NOSEY. Saw the letters M-A-S-T-U-R and my fingers clicked on the link before I could finish reading the title...:001_tongue:

You'll shoot your eye out.

In all seriousness, ask your doctor, not some internet forum. Some people don't have restrictions. If you do, there's a reason for it and you need to find out what it is and whether self pleasuring will affect anything.

If you can still find it...help yourself!

Maybe it depends on how much you thrash around...

Some funny people here.

My surgeon didn't even tell me how much I could life let alone anything about sex.

Unless, and here's my caveat, you have other health issues that could impact you, I also can't imagine how you could cause yourself harm.

Be sure to report back and let us know how things go.....

In my nutritional class they told us we weren't supposed to have sex for 30 days. They must be talking about jungle sex because I don't see how performing oral sex on your partner or receiving it can cause a problem. Same goes for pleasuring yourself. You're just laying or sitting there. Maybe they mean just no humping/riding.

Yikes!!! No one told me to wait 30 days...actually Dr Aceves didn't mention it!! I waited 11 days....Hmm...I'd ask your dr., maybe he had a particular reason??

LOL!!

That is what my husband said. So, he said he just did it till he needed glasses!! LMAO!
