Ok so this may be tmi but I was wondering how soon after surgery I can have sex again. I have heard 6 weeks and that just really sucks! I have my appointment with my physician pre op on the 23rd but my mom is coming with me. I would rather not ask in front of her lol

Yes please inquiring minds would like to know. I was too embarrassed to ask my Dr. but I would like to know?

hmm I dunno why it would be 6 weeks...when you're able to return to the gym after 3 weeks? I'd say take it easy and don't too wild for a bit

I was a week out and had intercourse. Just don't get TOO frisky and get into a position that won't put any pressure on your abdomen.

I was told by my doctor's office that as long as I felt ok and it wasn't causing me pain or discomfort to go for it.

Adults stuff lol hmm spicy lol!!!!

I'd advise to at least wait till you're out of the recovery room

Seriously, whenever you're ready and as Karen points out take it easy and be sure not to put too much pressure on yourself. Perhaps lady on top?

I think I waited 5 or 6 days? Depends how you feel! Just take it easy.

This was at the top of the list of my questions! My surgeon says wait a week, but that this varies based on the patients desire! He states it's a personal choice and after a week he has no concerns:-)

Ummm this was one of the first questions my hubby and I asked my surgeon at my pre-op appointment lol...he said as soon as you get home...I was like really????? he said yup, just no hanging from chandeliers or anything like that LOL!

ya'll just made my evening thanks!!

Now go make yo night girrrrrlllllll..... Boom!

Yep...we waited about a week. :kiss2:

Just in time for Valentines day! plus once you lose much of your weight this becomes a lot more fun :Banane59:

waited 2 weeks, wife waited 3... :biggrin: (jk of course!!)

as others have said...listen to your body...it will tell you when to stop!!

surgery date: 10-12-11
