sex after surgery

So im only 8 days post op but have lots an amazing 17 pounds that have really shown. I started at 220 and currently 203. Sooooo last night my hubby couldn't resist and neither could I. We got it on and all I can say is WOW! I had energy, felt amazing, and climaxed pretty fast!!!!! Looool.. then I thought, wasn't I suppose to wait 3 weeks before sex? Oh ow.. now I'm thinking did I do something wrong? Am I going to start having pain or something? Any tips or experience in this regard would be much appreciated bc there's noway I'm gonna tell my doctor about this! Haha

Smaller???? Ok u had me walk to my bathroom mirror to check... and I think ur right?!?! Huh? How is that possible!

My doc said "I am not operating "down there" why would you have to not have sex?" Then went on to say "Just know your body. If its ok with your body it's ok. If it hurts stop."

Idk but tampons won't hardly fit now. So weird.

Well I was It technically is in your system as soon as you get the shot. My doctor told me to still use condemns for the first week to be safe (I did) My doctor said even if I didn't though I'd be fine.

sex just gets better and better...the more weight comes off! I think you are fine though. My dr. said I was approved for any activity as long as it didn't cause pain!

Wow I was told that it took a month to be in your system..not on depo anymore though...my primary wouldnt even let me consider this surgery on depo since the risk of weight gain. I'm on mirena now

yes.. smaller!

Well how you dooooooin'......?

:P

When I went back for my two week post op I asked the NP if sex was okay. Her response was, "You mean you're not already?" I had just been to my OBGYN that same day for my 6 weeks post partum visit and was released from him. As far as the sleeve surgery went, I don't think I had any restrictions as far as sex goes, probably no sex swing though ;)

Well how you dooooooin'......?

:P

How you durin ;)

seriously .. my 2 kids were csection babies, so I didnt stretch mine out by squeezing watermellons through a keyhole. Its stayed nice and got better after surgery lol

I agree with the smaller comment. I don't think that it is smaller versus I have been building muscles in my core etc.

But sex is better than ever and you better damn well believe I count it as Cardio!

My doctor said just try and wait till your out of the hospital bed ,,,, lol. He said just lay off the whips n chains for a couple weeks.

Yeah my doctor even gave me papers explaining how quickly it's in your system. My doctor doesn't like soon mirena or any other IUD on people who haven't had any children yet. As far as weight gain goes I gained tons of weight when I took bc pills. I haven't gained any weight due to mirena yet. I took my bc pill until the day I had surgery. I started my period the day after surgery so 4 days later I got my shot.

Just like diets with surgeons..obgyns differ so much in their opinions too..mine tells me mirena is perfect for people before kids lol.
