When can I start getting back to the groove? I had surgery 6/17 and I don't want to call my doctor and ask she prob has better question to answer haha

I was in the hospital for 2 nights and two nights later my husband and I had sex. We were very careful and I wore the binder (sexy! lol) throughout so that my sore belly didn't jiggle (again, sexy!). It went fine! My doctor didn't put a time line on it...she just said we could have sex when we felt comfortable with it and to take it easy.

what binder?

I didn't have anything like a binder. About a week out for me.

Great question my husband ask this as soon as we talked about surgery. Lol but several ppl told me to wait at lease a week and then if u feel comfortable go ahead but be easy and no rough stuff for about a month or two

Aha great question, one I zipped to in my doctors hand outs , It says no sex till week three. I am a week out tomoro did I listen? Well no I feel ok I mean I wasnt swinging on the chandelier, but I got things done. and no I didnt get a binder either. Good luck to you hope this helps.

I waited four days

It's really up to how you feel. There is no reason you can't have it unless you do some really strange...or difficult positions. Once you are feeling up to the task....then burn those calories the best and most fun way to do so! Greatest exercise ever! Lol

I would say the most important thing is to use birth control. You don't want to get pregnant for at least a year. Some do but your body will be in a better place a year later. Also I am sorry if you did not get a binder. They work great especially the first 2-3weeks. Gives you support to help you get going or find a position to sleep in have early sex in etc. if you are still out only 3 weeks talk to your doctor about getting one. Can get it from hospital or get prescription for it and you maybe able to get from local medical supply store or some drug stores depends how large you are. Again mine was great used it to week 3 helps you to use less pain med. if you are going to be sleeved ask your doctor pre op. I am say this as a patient and as a nurse that has taken are of people who have had our surgery.

The day I got home. And yesterday and today too. Lol. I was sleeved the 19th. We just aren't going rough, not much moving and jiggling.

I had surgery 6/17 as well....had sex 5 days post-op. all is well.

I waited 10 days

my surgery was done on 02/07/13 still waiting lol

We did a out 5 days out and I was fine

When can I start getting back to the groove? I had surgery 6/17 and I don't want to call my doctor and ask she prob has better question to answer haha

You waited?

(My patient manual says "as soon as you feel ready" )

I second the comment about birth control. My surgeon insists on a month long regimen of Lovenox blood thinning injections to prevent blood clots post-surgery, which means no birth control pills for a month. My fiance and I talked about it pre-surgery, and agreed that we are going to wait until after the blood thinner is done and I'm back on the pills, because as much as we want to have children, we want me healthy and stable first.
