Sex and a new sleeve?

Hi Slightly embarrassing but how long did people wait after their sleeve surgery before having sex? I know this sounds mental but my doctor told me not to do any strenuous exercise for six weeks!! that is too long!! My husband comes home in two weeks. Im four days post op now by then I'll be about 15/16 days post op. I have a very high sex drive and I am already getting twitchy lol.

You did you all do?

Here's my phone number: 555-123-1234. Just kidding. I'm about to go thru the same thing. My surgery is 3-6-14. Hang in there.

Nothing to be embarrassed about...that's why God made us like he did! :)

My wife and I waited about two weeks and all was okay. Now keep in mind, you won't be using any swings or a trapeze :lol: , but by 15/16 days, y'all should be fine.

Good luck on your journey!

Thank you but I was kind of hoping for some answers from the girls. No offence guys. It's just girl talk

We waited about 3 weeks, just because I was in pain the first week, sore the second and just tired the third. Nothing went wrong.....again no swings, trapeze or anything too wild and you will be ok.

My husband and i waited 2weeks, just depends on ur body it will tell you if it's to soon.

good luck!:)

It was about two weeks for us.
Go slow and easy - and if it starts to hurt STOP!!!

A few days, just took it a bit easier then usual I suppose though lol :)

Sex doesn't have to be a strenuous activity. I had to wait for about a month because my husband had the surgery too and was a whiner, but once we were back "on the saddle" things were great. Try when you're ready, if it hurts, stop right away.

we waited a week and a half. didn't do anything crazy, and everything turned out well! ;)

As soon as you're ready! I ran fever and tried to get pneumonia right after my surgery so that put a damper on things but after a day or two of antibiotics we were back at it. I'm thinking it was around a week out (5 days?). Not long at all. Like the previous poster said "no trapeze" but you'll be able to find a comfortable pace to achieve your goal.

I will have my surgery march 5th. and I will just be glad to loose some weight so I will feel like having sex. being as big as I am, I don't feel at all sexy!!

We waited about 2.5-3 weeks for actual intercourse, My birth control go out of wack so I wanted to wait until I started a new pack. To be honsest though we fooled around 2 days after I got out of the hospital. 1 night away from me and my fiance acted like I had been gone for 6 months, it was too adorable to resist. Keep it simple and take it easy.

And now that I see my ticker, I mean 2 weeks and a few days. LOL. It feels like forever since surgery.

Two weeks here...just kept it tame.

We had sex 2 days after surgery...it's all about finding the right positions & we found plenty...lol. My doctor said I could have sex as soon as I felt like it...so of course we did :)
