Hi,

I was just curious how long people have waited before being intimate with their partner after being sleeved? I has a band removal & revision to the gastric sleeve. My left side is definitely still sore & I worry how uncomfortable any movement (you know what I mean) will feel.

Appreciate any feedback.

Thanks,

Fran

I was told 1 month after I had mine done. The first time I was really really worn out. More so then I was with extra weight.

I'm 3 months out and we haven't yet. But..we have 2 small kids and I have a mild complication that has kept me from feeling all that great yet.

I waited 2 weeks. I wasn't sore any more and was cleared to drive too!

2 weeks here as well. i asked my dr about it at my 1 week checkup and he said it was fine as long as i was comfortable with it.

Thanks everyone!

One week...but the answer is when you feel up to it. :-)

I was told whenever I felt up to it. Just no swinging from the trapeze or circus acts. 4 days for me. No problem. It was actually quite nice as it was very slow and sensuous.

It was 5 days after surgery for me.

We waited 3 weeks and it was fabulous! I think as soon as you feel up to it, you can.

I think we waited about 3 weeks because the incision where they actually removed my stomach was extremely sore and hurt so much when I exerted myself (even just walking around) and would throb. it still feels tender which I press it. Even now, I am afraid to put too much pressure on it, so I'm always on top

I am having trouble in this department. I have no desire. Life can't go on t like that because my husband has his needs. Does anyone out there have the same problem. Any solutions

TWO WEEKS , AND ITS BEEN AWSOME!!

Cindy Quebedeaux Breaux,

I know exactly what you mean. Between work and taking care of the house and husband--Jeez, I'm to tired to even think of it. I don't even have children. I don't know how you moms do it? Work at home or outside the home, take care of children, household and husband? I have a great amount of admiration for you.

I also suffer from depression and take Zoloft--which doesn't exactly help the libido.

Unfortunately, I don't have an answer to your question. The only time my hubbie and I are intimate is on the weekends. We almost have to schedule it so that we're both rested and up to it. My husband is 100% disabled so he has to be up to it too---no pun intended ; ). We waited over 5 weeks after my surgery, even though my surgeon didn't put any restrictions on when we could "get busy".

Blessings,

Kathleen

Well, it was about 2 weeks for me. Maybe 3. But I was taking matters into my own hands before that. lol
