Just wondering how long after surgery can the sex be had? Did your sex drive change?

Had it the first week after surgery, though it caused pain, as wounds were not healed, but, during my weight loss prior to surgery my drive was high and same thing afterwards, had the better of me. It then dropped after about 2 weeks, cntrary to what most people here said. It then rocketed again after about 6 weeks.

Whenever the thought of someone putting pressure of your stomach doesn't make you want to punch them in the face.....Yep that's when.

I think it was about 5 days post-op for me? Of course, I had my surgery in Mexico and my husband didn't travel with me, so I wasn't even home until the night of the 4th day post-op, so it wasn't really an option before that!

Two weeks. Once I had lost enough weight to get relief on my joints and neuropathies did I see an increase in drive. Getting rid of Lyrica, blood pressure meds, anti-depressants, and hydrocone help me have more feeling and less fogginess. All is good.

I was 2 weeks out, but only because my husband was scared he'd hurt me. I would have been good at a week out, maybe sooner. Remember the missionary position isn't the only way to have sex. He doesn't have to get close to your incisions at all. Make sure it's comfortable for you. I'm sure he won't care!!!

My libido hasn't changed at all, so far! People are all different! Don't sweat it!!!

Two weeks out...just choose a comfortable position & encourage your partner to do all the work
