yeah. your having major tummy surgery. its several wk recovery time. you both are going to be in time out! I dont no about others but I had at least 6 wks restriction on a few things. that was one. what did your surgeon say?

@@melva66 Nope you don't "have" to wait but I bet you will! Lol! The answer would be when ever your guts don't feel like there going to bust and the thought of anyone putting any pressure on your stomach doesn't make you want to punch them in the face! Yep, that's pretty much covers it!

I had sex 2 weeks post op and it was great. But I was not in any pain and had lots of energy. Choose a position where you are doing none of the work ;).

I was ready the day after surgery, but the nurses all said no. :lol:

Whip out that kama sutra book--there's gotta be something in there that'll make it easy. :)

I want to get back in the swing of things quickly as well. I'm going to avoid everything for at least a week and anything that requires me doing anything other than lying down without any weight on me or penetration for another week.

That's what I've told my partner so he can know what to expect. I will, of course, play it by ear as well.

I'm so glad I found this post. My husband asked about time restrictions on sex, this will be my fourth surgery...2 c-section, hysterectomy and now the VSG. Needless to say we never waited until the time the doctor told us to wait. We have been together for 26 years and sex has never been a problem. He has stayed with me thru thin (teen years) and thick (adult years). I am hoping with the weight loss the sex becomes out of this world. I am looking forward to exploring the Kama Sutra book, LOL! ????.
