Sex...

After surgery, did you find that your sex life got better as you got thinner or did it become non existent?

How long should a person wait before having sex after Surgery?

I have to say sex is awesome since I had surgery I don't miss a day.Pam

My Dr. Also said as soon as I feel up to it. (He didn't mention my husband may be up to it.. before I was even considering it...) I am 2 weeks out... and the last few days my husband and I have had sex twice. Heading into TMI area... but being honest... first time... I was a little nervous, afraid he might hurt me with too much weight on my abdomen, so I held his body up with my hands a little... Second time, I was on top, so no pain or pressure on my stomach. Just a thought ladies and gents... kinda private and embarrassing,.. but a real question deserves a real answer. We didn't go through all this so our spouses and significant others wouldn't want us... this is a good thing. Its nice to be loved, just be careful.

oh and i'll really throw an off subject matter in there... i'm eating Chinese food haha

My doctor advises to wait 3 weeks. I waited until 2. My husband never complained to me about my weight, but since I have lost over 30 pounds, it is more frequent. Hope this helps.

  • 2 weeks later...

I'm hoping I get some sort of desire for sex back.... 3 weeks until surgery and I've had sex maybe twice in the past 3 weeks.....

3 weeks down, and I think it was around day 10 when we started to have sex...this past week though has been GREAT, getting back to my old self really works for my wife. So yeah, if you are ready go for it!!!
