Fooling Around After Surgery



Recommended Posts

I want to know how long you have to wait after surgery before you can start fooling around...? A much needed and valid question...

Everyone's healing time is different and they way they feel in general. I would check with your doctor. I waited until I was about 3 weeks post op. I was not in the "mood" at all right after surgery.

I am weird for a girl...b/c I am always in the mood, lol I was ready and willing within 2 weeks...but the bf was worried and we waited 5. But I get into some weird bendy positions. It may be easier for you since you are a guy

My doctor told me to go for it as soon as I felt like it. I think it was 2 or 3 weeks at most, had no problems.

I held out for two weeks and then my hubby and I were very careful. I would suspect that it would be easier as a male if you were on top, than a female on bottom. I would suggest females to get on top, less pressure on the incisions that way.

I wasn't in the mood for a few weeks. But the doc said as long as I don't carry or lift or do anything crazy your good as long as you take it easy.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
