Had kinda started a thread earlier however I just want to know what folks are experiencing and how soon are you experiencing sex after surgery?

I was 5 days post op and it was incredably helpful with gas and cramping the next day. Positions can be a little tough but worth it! ????

I was told briefly by my surgeon at my first visit that I couldn't for 4 weeks after surgery. I didn't ask why, but will at my next appointment. I am only beginning my journey.....

I had sex at 1 week post op but only from

The back because I was afraid it would hurt. But after about 15 days we tried diff positions and it didn't hurt at all.

I had my surgery on 7/30 and was told i could have sex on 8/3. I was uncomfortable and slightly painful but, we made it work! :-)

surgery date: 7/30/12

Well it sounds like I need to ask why 4 weeks! Lol!

As long as you're comfortable have sex whenever you're ready. NOTE my surgeon told me that for 3 months post-op many girls are much more fertile and it's much more likely to get pregnant, so please be careful! Since we can't be on birth control (bc of blood clots) for a month post-op wearing a condom is a must. Also be careful with swallowing, apparently there's 15g/sugar per tablespoon, no one told me and I dumped! Happy humping :]

My dr never told me that. They actually encourages birth control to avoid pregnancies. I have an IUD and am not taking it out lol. I swallowed the other day and luckily it went down fine.. LOL

Wow 15gm sugar!! Good fact to know actually. Thanks!

See that junk doesn't taste good at all so this handy dandy surgery is pretty damn convenient for me haha

I waited 4wks because i wanted to be at my best.

Babygirl, is that what time frame your surgeon advised? Mine told me 4 weeks. I would think so your stomach muscles wouldn't hurt or tire out so soon....

I didn't ask. I had a wonderful recovery so I was more than ready. Lol

Wow! I love that this question generated so much info! I had no idea what the sugar intake on semen was...I wonder what the Protein is like if any?! lol

My doc didn't say anything about sex except go at er' when your ready. I was ready, I did. Fertility was mentioned as well so safety is absolutely important.

I had asked my surgeon, she said as soon as I felt comfortable to do it. Unless for some reason I didn't want to then she would tell my hubby 6 to 8 weeks lol she is to funny. We did it about 10 days post op and all was fine:-)

I found this tidbit to your question on how much Protein it may contain:

7.5 samples equals the protein in a glass of milk.

That would keep someone rather busy obtaining samples, and would probably require more than one source. Volunteers should be relatively easy to find however, making semen an excellent choice for a protein source alternative.

LOL, cute....

Well it sounds like I need to ask why 4 weeks! Lol!

I was also told to wait 4 weeks!
