Sex and a new sleeve?



Recommended Posts

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
