How Long After Surgery Can You "get Busy"?

I have been looking for this answer but I haven't come across it. I know everyone heals differently but this is something my husband and I desperately want to know B)

    Thanks everyone! My wonderful husband and I have learned in these few years of marriage that being 'active' is extremely important no matter what is going on in our lives. It keeps a lot of the tensio

We got busy two weeks later, but were very careful since I was still sensitive. :)

I had that question also...two weeks seems very soon...but we are all very different.

no pressure was put on the stomach.

9 days!

Haha...well someone actually asked our doctor that at our pre-op session. The response was as soon as you feel comfortable you can presume other activities.

We were td as soon as I feel comfortable doing so.

Thanks everyone! My wonderful husband and I have learned in these few years of marriage that being 'active' is extremely important no matter what is going on in our lives. It keeps a lot of the tension down. I am so glad that he loves me fluffy, un-fluffy or anything in between, He just wants me to be healthy and happy.

LOL!!!! YES....please be discharged from the hospital first!!!!

BTW...I waited 6 days and felt fine :)

3 days here ! Lol :)

When my doctor came to check on me just before discharge he asked if I had any questions. I said sex & roller coasters but not necessarily together lol. He said two weeks for both.

Don't think we'll wait 2 weeks for the sex though lol

We waited a week, till the drain was out. Longest we had been since childbirth. Lol

12 days.....very carefully. My husband thought he was going to croak waiting even that long. YEESH.

We waited about a week, but not due to the surgery entirely, we do have 2 small kids. If it were up to me, I would have been comfortable doing it within 3 days or so post op.
