embarrassing i know, but how long post op til sex?



Recommended Posts

I went to my pre op testing and classes today and they did not mention how long after it will be ok to have sex. My husband went with me and he whispered it to me during the class but I was too embarrassed to ask int front of the other people. Was anyone told this during their post op discharge instructions?? Thank you. :wub:

My doctor told me to wait 1 week, but I still felt like crap after 1 week. I ended up waiting 2 weeks and could have waited longer had my husband not been so pitiful.

Luckily, I had a one on one pre-op. They said as early as 2 weeks out from surgery. That being said I am 2 1/2 weeks out & have had my period for the past 9 days. I think it has something to do with all the estrogen being dumped into my system. Anyway, I was told 2 weeks & just go easy for awhile. ;) Hope this helps.

LOL. So my answers are. . .one week. . .two weeks. . .and three weeks. Sounds like it is ok whenever I feel up to it. Good to know, thank you. :)

I asked my Dr's nurse and she said whenever I felt like it, but just don't try any acrobatics. We waited 4 days and did the old scissors routine. I think that would work for either boy or girl.

Had surgery monday dec 10th, was discharged from hospital Wednesday dec 12th and was told I'm clear for driving and sex.

Now my body on the other hand says "oh Hell no!" I'm a bit tender still lol

I was told as soon as I was comfortable, tried at 1 week and I was still to sore, But I was good to go by 2 weeks, about the same time I was able to sleep on my side again.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
