Wow I asked my doctor and he was really vague said he doesn't like to put a lot of restrictions on his patients but I'm just a bit scared to do something too early and hurt myself. I've told my partner that I will see how I feel at 2 weeks out.

yeah I think that is good, listen to your body and how you feel we prob could have sooner cus I was feeling fine but since the dr said 6 weeks I waited didnt want to do anything to mess anything up

One week. I've been married for 24 years and still attracted to my husband. No Fifty Shades of Gray stuff though, lol.

Thank you so much that gives me peace of mind!!

I waited two 1/2 weeks and were fine....my lower stomach is still sore a little so I made sure my husband didn't put any weight on it! Just listen to your body, you'll know when it's right!

My post-op instructions say I can have sex, exercise, whatever I want to do as soon as I feel up to it. It's hard to imagine feeling amorous too soon after my gut gets ripped open, lol!

I was just wondering how long did other women wait after surgery to engage in sex?

I waited a week no big deal besides energy ..

I was never told so I waited about 7 days... wait I didn't wait I begged for about 4 of them lol

I waited a whole 3 days...lol!

We waited 2 and a half weeks, but haven't done it much as both times it has made me sick to my stomach afterwards, and last night i actually threw up after sex. Maybe it was just to rough and jostled my stomach around to much? I don't now, but it wasn't pleasant. So next time i told my hubby to be very gentle, and we'll see how that goes.
