How long did u wait to do "the deed"? Im too scared to ask my surgeon. Im 3 1/2 wks post op.

My doc said at least a year

My Dr said give it 2 years. Now each Dr is different but most say the skin will still form and tighten up to 2 years post-op. The least amount I've heard is 18 mo.

I met with the PS in May. I had my VSG on Oct 30, 2012. I have my arms scheduled for November 2013, and the "girls" will be done early next year. My PS said the last 20 lbs I need to lose won't be coming from either of those areas. I didn't even talk about it with my VSG surgeon. I went straight to an expert in skin removal.

confused - are we talking about sex? they told you to wait a year or two?

AHA! lol, that's what I thought you were saying. Then I saw the 2 year response and was like f- that (figuratively). I'll just keep the panni, then

Ha no kidding! I think im feeling good enough for it but i dont know if there is some reason that i cant. I cant do abdominal exercises til im 6 wks post op.

Oh I thought u were asking how long after gastric sleeve can you have plastic surgery done....lol

Same here! I thought you were talking about asking about PS.

LOL well I got info on the Plastic Surgery that I was looking for, but she never got her Sex question answered. I was told when you feel up to it. I am mentally ready now at 5 days but we have agreed to wait a week or two depending. The Doctor said when you feel up to it.

Thanks everyone. I thought "post plastic surgery" would be a giveaway that i had plastic surgery already.

Okay, I DID ask this question at my consults. I was told to wait 6-8 weeks and here is the reason... assuming you ENJOY "the deed" your heartrate will go up. They don't want anything that might cause small bleeds or whatever... so for the first 6 weeks post op no vigorous exercise of ANY kind. i was glad they were clear on this because I was thinking... there might be "things" that were okay to do sooner and there really aren't.
