Quick question....



Recommended Posts

I just got my surgery date (Yaaay! July 30th). How long after surgery do we have to wait to have sex? Or a better question I guess- how long until I will want to again? Lol. Any words of wisdom welcome :)

My doctor told me I could have sex as soon as I felt up to it. I must say, there's been A LOT of it. The weight loss is definitely making me feel sexier & my husband is living every bit if it. Happy Humping, Ladies!

I don't think I'll feel up to it for a few weeks- just had surgery 2 days ago. But that doesn't mean that my husband and I can't do other things together! :). I also use a "personal electronic device" for the early days- for me, the big O helps me naturally treat my pain levels and helps a lot! Always has- I also have chronic arthritis since I was 17 years old. Try mixing things up if you're not up to the full meal deal yet! ;)

My doc told me no strenuous activities for 6 weeks & said it included not having sex. I really didn't want sex until after 4 weeks. Once got the green light, it's been great. With the weight loss, I'm feeling better, more confident about my body & looking sexier than ever. Judging by my husband's reactions, I'll say it's better than ever. Sooooo exciting!!!!!!

I had sex at 3 weeks. I can say, being on my hands & knees hurt so maybe try missionary. I thought that would hurt more...nope.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
