How Long for Sex?



Recommended Posts

Hi, I'm new around here and am scheduled for my sleeve on Friday. Do any of you guys know how long I need to wait to have sex after the surgery? I'm not worried about the exertion (my lady will handle the "workload" for as long as necessary) but I'm worried about how my stomach muscles contract when I get to the "end."

Thx!

I know my surgeon said when I was ready but watch the stomach area. My wife was sleeved a week before I was and had sex two days after she got home. After I was sleeved she wanted sex the day I got home but we waited until the next day. Just take it easy and you'll be fine.

Sounds like whenever you feel ready must be the surgeon's universal answer because I was told the same thing. Was told not to carry around our then 9 month old son for a week, but sex as okay as soon as I felt up to it. Not sure the wife was buying off on both of those time frames. LOL

I was sleeved on February 3rd. Released to go home on the 5 the and had sex that night. Slow motion but it counts. Lol.

I waited for a few weeks. Not because of the surgery. Because over the past couple years, sex was awkward and difficult from being overweight. The wife and I really did not have a very active sex life.

Now after losing a bunch of weight. Things are much better.

But on the original question, 3 weeks here and had no issues. But I am sure if you take it easy a week or two sooner may be ok.

I had surgery 4-2-14 and had sex yesterday 4-6-14. It wasn't amazing acrobatic sex but still felt good. We were careful and made sure he didn't put any weight on me. It didn't hurt at all except just a little (scale of 1-10 would've been a 2) when I got there just from tightening my stomach muscles. But the after felt so good I didn't mind the little twinge of pain. In fact I felt better the rest of the day than I had since I left the hospital.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
