How long after surgery should one wait to get back to a normal healthy sexual relationship?

Just checked my husband post op instructions and it says 4 weeks.

I've seen somewhere on the post "as soon as your up to it" ....as far as working out /lifting (i know neither is sex...) my doc said a month. i didn't ask about intimacy lol. Just dont get pregnant!!!

4 days here. Just do whatever feels right and no swinging from the tightropes.

Lol, omg and ur Stomach didn't bother you all? I still have trouble reaching up, walking for extended periods of time, heck it still hurts when I cough, sneeze or yell to loud lol...I'm guessing im nervous about my tummy contracting during $?&@.

I'm hearing 4 weeks is the magic number, guess I have to think happy thoughts til then lol.

Dr. Alvarez has a youtube video on this topic. He says as soon as you feel like it. Check it out.

I asked my doc at my last pre-op appointment he said whenever you feel up to it....I waited until two weeks I was kinda milking it a little but didn't want to try to soon and actually hurt something.....and I was good I did however make my husband use extreme caution and if he was on my stomach too much I vocalized this. Take your time and yes if you are feeling like that still give it a few more days how far post op are you?

You'll know if it doesn't feel right. I hope you are with a partner who understands what you are going through and is OK, if you say, "Wait, something doesn't feel right", but lose the anxiety surrounding it. It really isn't a big deal. Just go nice and slow. You may actually enjoy it.

Ever hear of scissor position? Not a problem.

lol don't let him pretzel you and you'll be fine !!! I for one will milk it for all its worth. Sometimes ya just need a break!! lol And i'm hearing your not supposed to get pregnant for a year after surgery? I don't want to until i'm at goal for atleast a year lol!!!! Good luck!

I for one will milk it for all its worth.

What exactly does THAT mean?

Maybe i worded that wrong..............

No ... you just supported a long held mystery of women and sex.

Next time I will watch my words more carefully when they can be pervertedly interpreted for other meanings hahaha!!! I can't have anyone breaking the code of all of woman-kind!

No pretzels, girl!! That's my point! lol

So, how bout this weather!!!
